Just asked a friend that follows nascar closely and he said they don’t airlift from Daytona cause the hospital is so close.This.. the fact they didn’t airlift him is bad.
The entire halo of the cage on the driver side was crushed .
Source?Ryan Newman serious non life threatening injuries
Nascar press conference. My dad just said the sameSource?
I love being wrong when it is right. Never afraid to admit this.Just asked a friend that follows nascar closely and he said they don’t airlift from Daytona cause the hospital is so close.
Halifax is a 1/4 mile from the track surface. It would take longer to spool up the helo.I hate to say it but if there was hope, they have a life flight there at the track.
Not used. I so hope I'm wrong.
Sorry, I was still on page 1.I love being wrong when it is right. Never afraid to admit this.
Really good news.
Now that it looks like Ryan Newman is going to be ok, I'd like to note that like a good NASCAR driver I was representing my sponsors....Eliminator t-shirt, Eliminator visor and Shockwave coozie.Fucking Grads in your board shorts and tee shirt at a golf tourney. Come on man. Look the part. [emoji1418]

If this is true, kudos to NASCAR and their safety equipment. How you get t-boned at 200 m.p.h. and survive is beyond me.
I saw that to, he was definitely bumped but maybe not on purpose.So I missed it all yesterday, and tuned in today just in time to see this horrific crash. It looked to me that he was taken out. ? Glad he's ok.
I get what you're saying but it doesn't matter, you could see that car buckle in the middle.Because your car is sliding at 180!

That’s the way it looked to me too.I wouldn't say He was taken out. Blaney nudged into him and said in his interview after the race that he wanted to get Newman through for the Win putting the 2 Ford Cars in 1st and 2nd at the 500.
Blaney was clearly upset afterwards, IMO, about how it went down at the end..
Completely agree with this. Minus Newman's crash and injuries the ending of this race was insane and props to Denny for not giving up.un-fucking-believable.
Im not a NASCAR fan. Don’t even know who the hot shoes are these days.
But I do know this, that was easily the most violent crash I’ve seen in recent memory.
His impact into the wall by itself was more violent than previous fatal crashes I’ve seen.
It speaks volumes to the engineering involved in race cars of all kinds today.
This was the absolute outer limits of what a car can do to protect the pilot.
One degree different impact angle, one MPH difference on either impact, one more flip after crashing down from the SECOND aerial journey, one more gallon of gas, basically ANY slight increase or differentiation of how this crash happened and it would be a different story.
Truly incredible, just unbelievable.
Well today. But not yesterday .Grads..The Nascar fan.

I believe His intentions were of good nature.
I saw that... Can you imagine how she feels right now.Weird he and his wife split 4 days back. Hoping for the best
Probably like she almost had all the money instead of half.I saw that... Can you imagine how she feels right now.
Bruce Allen never got in a car again.
Bruce Allen/Kenny Koretsky crash from back in 05’ made that look like a fender bender.
This.. the fact they didn’t airlift him is bad.

NEWS CONFERENCE from hospital a few hours ago said he is "Serious, but stable and his injuries are NOT considered life threatening"....... Great News...Halifax Medical Center is two miles from the track.
When I turned off the TV, my hands were shaking and I thought I was going to throw up. After my years at the sharp end, and losing Dan Wheldon, Justin Wilson, and Bryan Clayson, all of whom I knew, seeing a crash like that is hard to take.
I can only pray he's OK, but right now I have an awful feeling of dread. C'mon, Ryan.
