TURIN, N.Y. — Kevin Ward Jr. was remembered as a “small-town boy” who loved his sport during Thursday’s funeral for the 20-year-old dirt-track racer whose car was hit by one driven by NASCAR cham- pion Tony Stewart. More than 700 mourners jammed the South Lewis Senior High School audi- torium for the 90-minute service, a mix of tears and cheerful recollections of someone who began racing at a young age. “Even if he had rough day, he always had a smile,” a tearful Dylan Swiernick said of his best friend and car-obsessed buddy. “We were just two small-town boys trying to make it in the big world. He was always working on something. It was unbelievable how smart he was. He never got down on himself when weren’t going his way.” Other friends and Ward’s three sisters also spoke dur- ing the service, which filled the auditorium to capacity, with some mourners stand- ing along the edges of the venue.
