I found Kiahuna's comments below that article to be the most informative. Example:

"Just an informational warning to people looking at various videos of this incident. There are TWO initial videos out there of this incident that appear identical but are not.

ONE of the videos has the engine sound people claim is Stewart occurring before his car comes into the picture. This is the video many have said sounded like it was recording another car nearer the camera position and not Stewart's. THIS video is NOT accurate.

The other video ... which as near as I can tell is the very first video posted - at Deadspin.com at 12:08am that Sunday - is the accurate one. In it the engine noise from Stewart's car is properly synced to the reaction of the car. The motor rev's for a quick burst at the same time the back end of the car jumps to the left - which is exactly what a car with big right rear stagger will do when power applied.

This power application was after the nose of the car had passed Ward - and as Ward was on the right side of the car.

Due to the large endplate on the main (top) wing the driver has virtually no visibility to the right of the car. Stewart would not have been able to see Ward, but experience would have told him if he blipped the throttle, the rear of the car would jump left, [U]away [/U]from Ward.

Had he braked, the car would slide up the track and the rear would have rotated to the right ... and into Ward"
