While prefacing all this with the fact that I'm no expert, particularly in 
this particular form of auto racing, so take all of this with a large grain 
of salt:

A third possibility comes to mind from the fact (if it is indeed a fact) 
that "Stewart apparently gunned his engine just as he passed Ward."  
Whatever Stewart did may have been an attempt to *avoid* hitting Ward.  An 
additional factor on top of that may be that the race was under a yellow 
"caution" flag, so the cars were operating at relatively low speed, not 
"racing" speed.  Possibly the handling of these specially-engineered cars 
is actually worse at low speed, and/or the drivers are less accustomed to 
performing evasive maneuvers with them at low speed?
