They should have red flagged the race after he got out of his car, but this is different world than the one I'm used to.
I will say, at first I thought Stewart's line of sight might have been blocked, but it appears that he should have had a clear view of Ward. However, on track, your eyes are only looking for cars, corners and walls NOT people, easy to miss if your not expecting a guy in a black suit hopping around a live track.

Yep. Especially since the area this happened was on the back part of the track unlit with the drivers going towards the lighting in the spectator stands, the brown dirt of the track, the dark wooded background, and Ward's black suit.
