"We knew everybody had questions, and we knew that everybody was going to want answers to what’s going on. But I think more than anything, we wanted to be able to tell everything from the beginning.”
Stewart said he didn’t know Ward personally but has spent time
reading about him since the accident.
“From what I’ve read, I think he had a really promising career as a Sprint Car driver. It sounded like he was doing a good job and learning a lot at a young age, so I think he had a lot to look forward to.”

When asked whether he wants to talk to the Ward family to
have closure, Stewart responded, “I want to be available to them if they want
to talk about it … I know it was an accident, but I’m offering to talk to them
to help them, if it helps them with closure.”
The accident at Canandaigua Motorsports
Park wasn’t the first time that Stewart has suffered loss.
“I’ve had close friends die in race cars. I’ve had teammates die in race cars, and there is nothing easy about it … The racing community is a very close-knit family. Anytime you lose somebody in that family, there are drivers and team owners and crew members from other sports that may not have ever met that driver but feel for that family and that driver in their tragedy.”

Stewart did not return to the
race car until the Sprint Cup race in Atlanta
but admits that “it’s not been business as usual.” The driver who is so
passionate about his love for motorsports said, “This is going to be a healing
process for me. It makes you think about a lot of things other than driving
race cars, but the one thing that’s probably helped me more than anything is
being back at the racetrack and being around my racing family and remembering
that I have a passion for what I do.”
When asked if he would have
done anything differently over the past couple of months, a somber Stewart
answered without hesitation.
“I’d have stayed at Watkins Glen that night … I go run those cars to have a good time and that’s all I wanted to do that night. I wanted to go have fun… I do it to have fun, and it didn’t end up being fun that night.”

Talking with the press,
Stewart offered, is “another step of making forward progress… to resume what
was the best of a normal life before this.” Right now, Stewart is taking life
one day at a time.
“Before the accident happened, a day would fly by, and now a day seems like two or three days. I honestly think every day, things will get better, and things will get easier, and I think it will for Kevin’s family as well. Time heals.

“I don’t know that it will
ever be normal again, but we’ll find a place to settle into, and we’ll do the
best we can like we have to this point. Whether I ever get back to that or not,
hopefully through this, I will somehow be a better person. That’s all I can
hope for.”
Stewart said he's thankful for support
from fans: “They’re just happy that we’re back right now, and that’s
been very comforting for us and for me. I’ve really appreciated their support
and how they’ve helped welcome me back to the track.”
Many of his fans may have
found themselves wondering whether Stewart would return to sprint cars or
entertain the thought of leaving motorsports altogether. Stewart did say
he has no immediate plans to return to sprint Car racing and doesn’t know “if
and when” he’ll ever get back behind the wheel. However, when it comes to
racing in general, he will continue to participate in the sport he loves.
“This is what I’ve done all my life. This is what I’ve done for 36 years, and I wouldn’t change anything about it. I love what I do. I love driving race cars, but I think it might change right now as far as how much of it and what I do, but there was never a thought in my head about stopping. That would take the life out of me.”

Of the accident and its
aftermath, Stewart said it will always be in his mind.
“It will never go away. It’s always going to be part of my life the rest of my life… It’s going to be a part of Kevin’s family’s life, and it’s never going to go away for any of us, but hopefully, it will get easier for all of us.”
