The parents of a sprint car driver struck and killed last year by Tony Stewart believe a wrongful death lawsuit is the only way to hold the NASCAR star accountable. Pamela and Kevin Ward Sr. said Friday on “Good Morning America” they want “justice” for their 20-year-old son. “That’s what we want,” Pamela Ward said. “I don’t feel Tony meant to kill my son. But his actions killed my son. I think he lost his temper.” Kevin Ward Jr. was killed last August at Canandaigua (N.Y.) Motorsports Park when he exited his car under caution in an apparent attempt to confront Stewart. As Ward Jr. walked down the track, he was struck by Stewart’s car. The Wards believe Stewart revved his engine and swerved toward Ward Jr.
