While I agree it was a tragic racing incident, I can see how someone easily would be perhaps showboating and whatnot during a yellow. Here's this celebrity running in a series that's well "below" his norm and with a more prestigious race of the same sort just a few miles up the road. And still, under caution, a lot of throttle is used (which to me explains the rev dilemma).
It was an accident, for sure, and I think whether Tony was showboating or not is academic at this point, if he was going slower this kid probably would have still been killed (I hate to say that)
