Title: Daytona 500 Post by: 2Stater on February 17, 2020, 07:12:32 PM Thoughts and prayers for Ryan Newman and his family. After a horrific, fiery crash on the last lap, one of the worst I've ever seen, he was pulled from his car, put on a stretcher and taken by ambulance to the hospital. :pray:
Denny Hamlin won, but this reminds me of when Michael Waltrip finally won the Daytone 500 for the first time, Dale Earnhart's last race. :( Title: Re: Daytona 500 Post by: pmull on February 18, 2020, 12:01:03 AM Ryan Newman is in "serious condition" but his injuries are "not life threatening". If you saw the crash this is good news. It was a terrible wreck. Safety has come a long way in NASCAR.

Thank the Lord he will survive this. Title: Re: Daytona 500 Post by: Chechem on February 18, 2020, 05:17:32 AM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owURzgtwOSw
Title: Re: Daytona 500 Post by: 2Stater on February 18, 2020, 05:37:49 AM Thanks for posting that, Chech. Still hard to watch.
Title: Re: Daytona 500 Post by: Chechem on February 18, 2020, 05:45:15 AM Thanks for posting that, Chech. Still hard to watch. No way bumping someone like that is legal. The driver should be arrested for "wreckless endangerment" or something! Title: Re: Daytona 500 Post by: ricky023 on February 18, 2020, 07:00:14 AM Well when you go do the races you have to expect this. The person who spun him out should be punished. RTR!
Title: Re: Daytona 500 Post by: Hannibal Lecter, MD on February 18, 2020, 07:50:12 AM Wow...that was my first time seeing the wreck. Amazing engineering in those cars that anyone could survive that.

Title: Re: Daytona 500 Post by: ricky023 on February 18, 2020, 03:40:10 PM I pretty much quit watching racing after Dale got killed at Daytona. It just seemed the protection was to dangerous. RTR!
Title: Re: Daytona 500 Post by: N.AL-Tider on February 19, 2020, 04:08:47 PM How the Daytona accident happened. (https://www.foxnews.com/auto/ryan-newman-crash-how-it-happened) Just as I expected, there was an attempt to pass, an attempt to block, then a bump that caused an immediate right turn into the wall. Nothing criminal whatsoever.
