Not good.
Winner facing a lot of backlash for doing donuts while Newman could be dead.
Nasty
With Earnhardt nearly all his forward momentum stopped instantly when he hit the wall head-on.
That did not look good.
horrible crash prayers sent for Ryan Newman the black tarp hiding the area where the crash took place not a good sign praying that he is ok
Crash looked like it was on other side of the track from where he did the donuts. There’s no way he could have known the seriousness of it.
That was a very hard hit, especially the second one to the roof. I sure hope he’s still alive. It was that bad.
Dale wasn’t wearing a Hans device and, of course, none of the additional safety features today; nonetheless, getting flipped and T-boned when sliding upside down on the track is a different thing.... let alone the sparks and flames. Looked real bad.
since earnhardt sr. died in a wreck there have been extensive safety equipment upgrades inside race cars as well as on racetracks... with that said all race car drivers know before getting behind the wheel there’s always a risk of being injured or killed...
it’s part of their life of living their sport...
Prayers
Prayers up for Ryan Newman.
Hard prayers for Ryan Newman tonight. Great family man. It was an intentional wreck, but it’s part of racing and Hamlin (as much of I don’t like him) was doing his job. No way he was hoping for an outcome that resulted in a serious injury.
I hate to say it but I think they would have used a helicopter to transport him instead of an ambulance if he had survived.
NOT LOOKING VERY GOOD PING!!!
Prayers for Ryan Newman, Medical Teams, Family and Crewmembers.
Got punched in the Drivers door while upside down at full speed.
I hate to say it but I’m pretty sure that We’ve lost Ryan Newman tonight.
They all knew it was a dangerous job when they took it.
My God, they moved black screens in to hide him from the fans while they were taking him out. He must have looked like he’d been through a meat grinder. Prayers up.
Not good.
It looked like the car behind number 12 bumped him hard a couple times which got him loose and then the 12 car hit Newman.
Prayers up for Ryan Newman. He’s one tough customer. His wreck at Watkins Glen a few years back had us all holding our breath in the stands. And he emerged okay. Hoping for a miracle here.
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.
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.
