Wards toxicology came back positive for marijuana. DA said it there was enough in system that would've impaired him during the race.
KEVIN WARD FAMILY STATEMENT:
"Our son got out of his car during caution, while the race was suspended. All other vehicles were reducing speed and not accelerating except for Tony Stewart , who intentionally tried to intimidate Kevin by accelerating and sliding his car towards him, causing this tragedy. The focus should be on the actions of Tony Stewart and not Kevin. The matter is not at rest and we will pursue all remedies, in fairness to Kevin."
