Deleted, thank heavens.
Look at how far the top of the roll cage is pushed inward toward the center of the car. His body had to have taken part of that impact.
Thanks.
Hopefully he’ll be okay, but that car is destroyed.
Thank you, couldn’t find the name in the dusty corners of my mind.
Owner Joe Gibbs apologized for his team’s celebration following their win. Gibbs said the team is praying for Newman.

I was watching when Earnhardt crashed. It seemed like a small one and no harm but the color announcer who was a driver immediately said it was serious.
Of course he knew things I didn’t.
Yeah. I was surprised when I got parked how close the hospital was. The 2 properties are adjoining.
Did you watch Michael Waltrip’ grid walk yesterday? The Irish wrestler that Mikey had with him had fun with Ryan but I remember thinking something was said that was quite odd. I Will try to find that interview.

A stretcher is next to Newman’s car. Crews are using black screens to keep fans from seeing. And media has just been told to leave the pits. #DAYTONA500
Ryan and Krissie Newman had just announced Thursday thay they were going to get Divorced (amicably), They also run The Rescue Ranch here in Iredell County.
“I was watching when Earnhardt crashed. It seemed like a small one...”
My group was sitting just past the start-finish line, looking up at Turn 4 when Earnhardt hit the wall. It appeared from our angle that he just sort of kissed the wall. It wasn’t until we got to our rooms and saw the replay that we saw that he went straight in.

Yep saw that. Fox definitely did some hype, Superbowl type to drum up interest to a younger crowd yesterday during pre-race.
WOW!
Rescue Ranch

After Hamlin got done with the celebratory doughnuts in the grass I heard a lot of boos from the crowd. Frankly, I’m not a big Nascar fan, but had to watch yesterday because of Trump and looked forward to watching tonight’s finish. I pray, but that was just a horrific crash. I was surprised that there wasn’t more fire. After the car stopped, you could see a liquid pouring out from the car next to the fire. Obviously not fuel as it did not ignite.
The LaJoie hit was brutal. Probably most damaging.
Hope Ryan pulls through. Don’t think he will race this season at all.
Just saw this for the first time.
Got a chill in my body.
