Oh, thank goodness! Firey is the word, all right. I Hope those burns aren’t as bad as it looked. Broken bones and cuts heal with less pain, and faster, I think.

So this is how you knock off the winning driver in the last lap? Basically do a Pitt maneuver on him and then you get to win because with him out of control he causes the field behind you to have accidents?

What a waste of a race.

I think the guy who won was in third at the time of the accident.

They were all racing bumper to bumper.

And if anything, Newman was aggressively blocking the car behind him. Some may be of the opinion that he caused the wreck.

As a T12 para, that’s also my question. He took a helluva hit.

Newman's crash was a fender-bender compared to this epic wreck from the Craftsman Truck series race at Daytona in 2000:

Geoff Bodine's Miraculous Survival at Daytona

It's hard to believe there weren't at least a dozen fatalities in the stands with that one.

No word on that

The news seems oddly truncated on details.

One reads between the lines.
