Did not know that. Quit following in 2013 or so.

All I remember he was a very stand up guy. Giving lots of time to charities and church.

BUT, things change

Really, WTF????

I didn’t say I was going to bet the next race. I may or may not. Depends on if I see an opportunity.

And AGAIN....what does that have to do with it. THis has got to be the weirdest stalker that I Have ever had here..and I Have had some doozies.

My posts can’t possibly effect the bets. You think bookies are going to change the line because of my posts.

Please keep your nutjob posts away from me.

I can see what you mean with that picture..

....but it’s like when people see Jesus or Elvis in a piece of toast.

It’s hard to unsee once your brain sees it. ;-)

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a NASCAR driver with his “face wrapped in flame retardant bandages.” Do they even use them? I thought the flame-resistant material was embedded inside the helmet itself.

Not sure if it’s still the norm but drivers used to always wear a Nomex head sock.

for what it’s worth

https://buildingspeed.org/2017/06/30/the-biggest-safety-risk-in-racing-fire/

talks about the fireproof gear..and then there is this which is pretty horrifying

Cox, a writer at MotorSportNews.net and co-host of Mecum Auctions on NBCSN, had first, second and third-degree burns over 7% of his body despite wearing all recommended protective gear. While 7% may not sound like much, the part where he describes “the skin on the back of my right thumb dripped off my hand.” A second article shows videos of the fire, which one can watch only knowing that Cox recovered.

this has got to do with you intentionally trashing someone’s reputation to alter unknowingly people’s minds to gain an advantage...
you’re accusing me of stalking when all i’m doing is making sure you adhere to the truth proves you’re attempting to employ diversionary tactics to avoid the subject being addressed...

So you are stalking me because you think Bookies in Vegas and all over the world are going to change the betting lines based on my posts about Ryan Newman.

On a race that I may or may not bet...haven’t even looked at it yet

You are insane

I have heard people whining that he was at fault but the way I look at it, the driver behind him bumped him out of the way and almost killed him in the process

btw, probabably going to parlay the Bucks if there are no injuries on Thursday. they have been a huge money maker for me.

Better keep a close eye on my posts about Giannis...
Vegas Bookies are watching every one of my posts to move the line.

You are ridiculous.

I feel like I am in some kind of weird stalker twilight zone...since my posts apparently move bookie betting lines...

I will just leave this here..(and I thought Flopping Lowry in the All Stars game was bad)

You must have missed the tweet from Chris, Hamlin’s spotter, last night. He took all the blame for the burnout post race. He said he took off his mike to run over to Newman’s spotter to see if they could hear Newman on the radio. That is normally the first thing a driver does is tell the crew chief and spotter if he is okay. Chris wasn’t talking to Hamlin at that moment.

As for what Hamlin knew on his own , the worst of the crash happened behind him as he and Blaney were racing to the finish line. It took a few minutes for the seriousness of the crash to be fully comprehended by those who were not behind it.
