| 1 | 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. |
| 2 | Pamela and Kevin Ward Sr. said Friday on ''Good Morning America'' they want ''justice'' for their 20-year-old son. |
| 3 | ''That's what we want,'' Pamela Ward said. |
| 4 | ''I don't feel Tony meant to kill my son. |
| 5 | But his actions killed my son. |
| 6 | 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. |
| 7 | As Ward Jr. walked down the track, he was struck by Stewart's car. |
| 8 | ''Tony races every weekend,'' Kevin Ward Sr. said. |
| 9 | ''Well I know my son will never get to race again. |
| 10 | A grand jury last September cleared Stewart of any criminal wrongdoing. |
| 11 | The Ontario County district attorney also added Ward was under the influence of marijuana the night of the incident. |
| 12 | ''I do not believe my son was impaired,'' Pamela Ward said. |
| 13 | The wrongful death suit filed Aug. 7 seeks unspecified damages stemming from Ward Jr.'s potential future earnings and suffering at the time of the accident. |
| 14 | Stewart has maintained the incident was an accident. |
| 15 | He's never publicly commented in detail on the sequence of events that evening, and has declined to discuss the lawsuit. |
| 16 | ''I wish he hadn't gotten out of the car, more than anybody,'' Pamela Ward said of her son's actions. |
