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.

The guy behind him was his teammate, who said he was trying to push Newman to victory but their bumpers got locked and that is what caused the accident.
As I saw it Newman ‘lost control’ of his car while trying to block the other car behind him.
But I have to wonder that his speration from his wife just four days prior, and whatever led up to that would have likely had an effect on him just before this race.
