Well, we really don't know for sure what his condition is mentally, yet. The updates we've gotten have been very carefully worded and vague. We know he's awake and has spoken to family and doctors, but we really know nothing about his physical and mental condition other than that as of now.

I just hope he can recover to have a meaningful and fulfilling life.
I'm not, and never will be, a Denny Hamlin fan. With that said, once he and his team realized what had happened behind him, their celebration toned down quite a bit. I have to respect them for that. Edit 1 day later...WOW! This little comment sure lit people up! I never said that the 11 team didn't have a right to celebrate the victory. Obviously they had every right to celebrate. I also never said that they knew what Newmans condition was during their time of victory celebration. I also never said anything about any of the various teams, drivers or manufacturers being better than any of the others. I have my favorites and others have theirs. I also never made any political statements. I have my views and others have theirs. That's a right that we have as Americans. That's a lot of also(s) that people seem to think that I said, but didn't! What I DID say is that I respect Denny Hamlin and the entire 11 crew for toning it down and showing concern for a fellow competitor when NOBODY knew exactly what was going on.
I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure that was fuel leaking out of the ruptured fuel cell... Fire suppression systems don't leak clear fluid... It's a miracle that it wasn't ignited by the fire.
Topanga chronic ...thank goodness there were firefighters and EMS there within seconds after the track was accessible to them. There was enough fire already occurring for Newman to get severely burned in that short amount of time, and we probably shouldn’t be too surprised to hear he’s been treated for burns...
I have always been a fan of Ryan as a person, and who he was in the sport. I am not selfish, honestly I would love to see him race again, but first and foremost I want him to be there for his little girls! That’s a bigger gift than anything racing will ever give him!
Andrew, you have a good head on your shoulders. Thank you for saying this. His daughters need him more than race fans do. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised to see Ryan on the track again if he is able to be. It's just the way NASCAR drivers are wired. They go into every race KNOWING that this is a possibility but do it anyway because they love the sport. But whether it's possible for Ryan to return to being a racer or not, family HAS to come first.
Kenny Vee agreed Ryan’s had a fantastic career including a Daytona 500 win and a brickyard 400 and is financially secured for the rest of his life a crash like that especially being in his 40s now will make you question is it still worth it?
I relive that crash every February! I've been a Dale Sr fan since my first trip to Daytona as an 11 year old kid in 1979 and I still am. I was also at there in 1998 when he FINALLY won it all, and again in 2001, when NASCAR changed forever!
Nobody knows a situation like this like Dale Jr does... I’m sure he’s been in contact with Ryan’s family and Ryan himself. Glad he’s planning on getting back behind the wheel after he recovers fully.
i appreciate y'all giving Jr the "moment" on complimenting newman. Their comradery shows that character. the REAL part of their true hearts. good for jr. i always KNEW my NASCAR guys were REAL!!!!
Bryan Mulligan I’m taking the same approach as several others at this point: that no news is a good thing. If some terrible complication or other event were to happen we would have already gotten word. The fact that we haven’t is at least a little positive
@@dawsonwise3519 I hope I am 100 percent wrong, but if it were a few broken bones or something like that, we'd have heard to put everyone at ease. I'm afraid it's a life altering injury and both Ryan and his family need time to digest it before it's made public. Again, I hope I'm wrong.
Just listening to Juniors tone about when the time is right for them to see him just didn't give me a warm fuzzy. You could tell he knows there's something bad, but obviously couldn't elaborate on it.
Bryan Mulligan No matter the injury, it is up to the family. We will know when they want us to know. I’m not speculating anything until I hear something official. At this point, I’m just glad he is still with us.
God, hearing Junior talk about his dad’s accident almost brought me to tears. I don’t think I’ve ever actually heard him actually say “accident” or “dads crash” he always just skirts around it. That was a deep perspective.
The wreck I keep going back to is Austin Dillon's in 2015. Very similar wreck and almost a similar result. Dale won that race and I can't remember if his spotter or Ives mentioned anything to him on the radio. The ones I really feel bad for in all of this is LaJoi and Blaney. Blaney was visibly torn up but there wasn't anything he could have done differently and I don't think Newman would have wanted him to do anything differently really.
I guess the feeling in 2015 was different because of how fast he got out. This was the closest experience I’ve had to the feeling that people had when Dale passed. I’ll tell you that the feeling I had was awful. I thought we lost him, I really did..
I am not a doctor but I spent 15 years running short tracks. That lick he took was a one in a billion shot. NO ONE has ever planned for a car bumper to come in the window opening on the drivers side. The Ryan Newman that climbed into that car ain't the same guy they took to the hospital. That was a BAD wreck. Dale knows it. Anybody that has ever been around circle track cars knows it. I just hope that he did not lose too much brain function. That was a bad wreck folks, a bad wreck.
I agree Gene Martin getting hit at 200 mph right in the side is devastating. It’s a miracle he is alive. It’s a miracle he wasn’t “critical”, now we hope for one more miracle and that somehow he was protected far more than we fear. The wall hit was nothing. The vehicle hit was the most violent and direct hit I have ever seen in racing. I thought he was killed instantly.
@Colton Hamilton Actually Mr.Hamilton I've been following racing for some 30 years and seen the cars before sheetmetal is added. In this wreck however, the car was hit inverted.
6 6 You can say that praying is doing nothing if it makes you feel better, but we both know you’d be doing it yourself if you ever thought your life was in danger. You can’t openly admit that, of course, because doing so would take courage, which you don’t have because you are lost, but it really makes no difference if you admit it or not. What matters is that you know deep down inside, just as well as I do, that what I said is true, and there’s absolutely no doubt that you do. We both know that if you only had seconds left to live, you’d most definitely apologize to God for the ignorance and blasphemy you’ve spewed, all for the sake of hopefully being seen by other people as the edgy rebel that you want them to think you are. Unfortunately for you, you won’t be able to say that you never had the opportunity to acknowledge the truth, if you end up waiting until it’s too late, but, if that happens, I seriously hope your sad attempt to look cool on the Internet will have been worth it to you. Unfortunately, it appears as though that attempt didn’t even succeed, anyway, which means there was absolutely no benefit to it, whatsoever, and that makes it even worse. In my opinion, at least, the fact that you failed so miserably, and yet got nothing out of it, at all, is the saddest, most pathetic part about it. To be honest, I’d probably feel kind of bad for you if you didn’t deserve it, but, you do, so, nah. Better luck next time. God bless.
I don't know what happened in the Newman's marriage nor is it ANY of my business BUT I do hope and pray this will lead to them reconsidering their decision to seperate and that they can reconcile.Many prayers for a full recovery Ryan.
Dale is right where he’s needed most. The insight, the level of respect and straight talk he brings is desperately needed ‘Oxygen’ to the sport of NASCAR. As a father, both’ HIS couldn’t be prouder.
I grew up watching nascar and was a Ryan Newman fan. I watched all the races and even though he was never the best one, I stuck with him. As of late I’ve fallen out of love with the sport and haven’t really watched the past 3 or 4 seasons. For some reason I turned on the 500 last night with 20 laps left. It’s like something told me to be there with him. Just wild that this is how it played out. Praying he gets better, he was a big part of my childhood.❤️
Just goes to show that each of us should always care and respect our fellow human beings. Never know when things like this can happen. Love you Ryan and get well soon.
What a great sight seeing Newman WALK out of the Hospital with his 2 girls ! THAT got the water works going ! Thanks JR for giving the perspective on the Victory lane thing, people just got to hate... :(
The way that Jr. is talking about Ryan makes it seem as though things are not looking too good. I hope he makes a speedy recovery and gets back on the track in the future.
Thanks to the efforts of people like Jeff Burton, racing has been made a lot safer, but it's time people like Brad and Joey figure out that this can be a deadly sport, especially at the super speedways. I think Kyle learned that a few years ago at Daytona, and became a better driver for it. Prayers for Ryan's speedy recovery.
in the 90's,you had mid 30's to early 40's drivers,last lap you usually had half the field withina half second at the end and great races.,heck,look at the fall dega race in 2000..still had 25-30 cars runing
Good on NBC for giving Dale the time he needed to speak his mind about Ryan. Newman is one of the few I actually keep track of on the rare occasion I watch a race these days. He's a throwback, a man amongst all the cookie cutter little pretty boy racers NASCAR seems to churn out these days. All the best and prayers for Ryan and his family. That's all that really matters here. -Ed on the Ridge
My sentiments exactly regarding Newman as a throwback and one of the few, if only reasons I watch NASCAR, though I attend local short tracks for modifieds when I can here in New England. I think there are many more of our ilk out here than the media know, or if they know, will acknowledge. Best, my friend!
The biggest bummer (on top of the obvious injuries) is that he was sooo close to kicking off perhaps his final year or one of his final seasons with a Daytona 500 victory. Would have been such a huge moment for his career, for Roush, for the 6 car which hasn't won since Mark Martin. Just to end in tragedy. EDIT: Forgot David Ragan won in the 6. Still a long time ago.
I see comments on everything saying I hope Ryan makes a full recovery and gets back on track. I want him to make a full recovery too but as far as getting back on track it would be nice to see him race again and at the same time I could understand if he decided not to race again. So how about we all just be thankful he's still here for his 2 little girls and the rest of his family. Also people need to lay off of Hamlin and that team! They did nothing wrong as far as celebrating!
GOD bless Ryan and his family.I hope he has a 100% recovery.I hope he can race again if he wants to. It was a wicked bad wreck.I am glad he is still with us . my thoughts and prayers are with Ryan and his family. Thanks for the years of hard racing Ryan.👍🇺🇸
Been a Roush fan since the early 2000's, was really hoping that he could've won. I will say, I didn't think it could get any more classic than the Wyndham Rewards car, but it did. I know Folgers was his original sponsor, but that Koch Industries scheme is BADASS and puts that car back in Mark Martin blue. Hope he ccontinues to race as Roush has a real strong team this year.
The bright side on Ryan's part if he's done racing is he's an engineer. He can really put that into use into the Nascar world off the track. And I just hope to see him be able to make the best decision forward after this for himself.
dillon ridling Clearly you don't know the characteristics of a vehicle that well. There's always margin for improvement into anything whether or not it's safety or performance wise. Mechanics like me can appreciate once in a while if something was made right or what not because we'll flip out at doing certain jobs due to the way something was made.
Totally agree, the last person that would be disrespectful would be Joe Gibbs. People who have said that, have no knowledge of the sport. His son passed not long ago, he is a man of god. Get well ROCKETMAN
Thank You Dale Jr For Your Incites ; You Are Tha Man and Your Dad Was Tha Man Within The NASCAR Motor Sports Racing !!!! Glad You Got Out Of Racing Brother !! Martin Truex Is My Favorite, I Also Like Little Buddy Chase Elliot !! He Knows How To Drive A Car And Always Works Himself Back Up To The Front !! God Bless 🙏🙏
Maybe I'm too closed minded but I don't how you take the danger out of getting hit in the window net at 190mph. The fact that Ryan did survive is a testament to the improvements nascar has made in their cars.
Patience doesn't exist when you're going 200mph, football field in a second fast, last lap of the Daytona 500. Things move too fast for all of the front drivers to calculate and make the best possible move last 5 seconds when fighting for a win.
nitrodjinn Not true. In the 90’s, drivers would race for hours straight with no cautions and never wreck. They realized that wrecking doesn’t pay. Only finishing does. These kids today can’t run 10 laps without wrecking half the field. Ridiculous. The last 6 laps, that’s when it’s time to go, but with finishing in mind. Not wrecking everything you’re in.
@@tmcorey1 And that's how these drivers raced. Last 16 laps it was a mad dash to the win. You can tell they weren't trying to wreck anybody, just rookie mistakes, but they've got to start somewhere. Logano got a big run and he bump drafted, unfortunately, Keselowski was in front and he got turned. Chastain was 10 mph faster and the 37 blocked too late. Blaney was caught loose by Denny and went low, and at that point when he was blocked it was simply too late, not Blaney's fault he got blocked. He was going to push Newman to the win but they got caught in the wrong spot and locked bumpers. And you forget how uneventful the first 2 stages were. There was one caution after 59 laps of nothing but clean racing, and he was turned by a driver who had been in the sport for around 10 years. The second wreck a rookie was turned by Aric Almirola, a 12-year veteran. They race hours without caution these days, too, just this ending was a bit more aggressive and rightfully so.
nitrodjinn In the 80’s and 90’s, there were no “the big one” where 20 cars were demolished. I recall a big one monday night, just like every other 500 for the last 20 years. They need to learn that to finish first, first you must finish. Being on a wrecker with 20 laps to go don’t get the big check or the trophy.
@@tmcorey1 You're entirely right, the "big one" is a recent event. But I think it's unreasonable to blame these on rookies or young drivers all of the time. They have to get started somehow in the cup series.
Think they were all driving over thier heads the whole race the risk factor was more than pretty high it was off the charts, bumping all through the corners, swerving all over the track, i mean nothing wrong with being aggressive but it was just insane how they were driving, it's a miracle that there wasn't more bad wrecks or more people getting hurt i called it while the race was on, I said if they keep driving like idiots somebody's going to get hurt and what happened?.?
i think its safe to say that all of these damned stage races and mandatory caution flags for no reason but to form everyone up for a bad wreck only ten laps later are to blame, and that its a good time to get rid of those gimmicks. no more green checkered, no more cautions for no reason, no more advertising wrecks. no more
this i like a darn race derby where hitting is allowed, of course there are going to be crashes. I had no idea it was this bad with almost every car hitting each other.
Ryan has been in the Hospital almost two days and we still don’t know what his injuries are. Nascar has set the race up that a drive is willing to run through another driver in the last lap even if it kills him. It’s all on NASCAR. Ryan Blaney run through Newman to try to win. Let’s find out what Ryan’s injuries are instead of Dale Earnhardt dying ok.
Even though we have more updates and that he’s been released and walked out under his own power something is still a little off it seems that’s just my thoughts. I feel for JR you know stuff like this has to mess with him cause of his dad
i get the feel that newman's racing days are over..they are not talking about any injuries he sustained..that makes me wonder ok he survived and is talking....but does that mean he can race again?...
Sure it means he will race again. Been a fan of the sport since 1975 and saw a lot of way worse wrecks at Daytona. Rodney Orr comes to mind back in 1994 during a practice run over in turn 2. This was 2 days after Neil Bonnett was killed in a practice crash. I would be willing to bet more than 90% of the kids posting on here have never even heard the name Rodney Orr.
Ryan Newman probably saved his own life. If not for the Newman bar I’m sure that roll cage fully collapses on him and we’d be having a very different discussion right now.
Two Black Labs There’s another bar that Ryan helped engineer after his wreck in 2009 with Harvick. When he was trapped inside the car, they redesigned the roll cage and added the Newman bar, which further keeps the roll cage in tact.
i watched it as it happened, man, that was are hard hit on the drivers side. his car stopped (at this specific angle on the track), the rear bumper was still on fire and the fuel was pouring out of the fuel tank. some how, some way gravity was the key. glad he's ok.
difference between newman and Jr is Jr would have held back a little in turn 3 and not get soo far out that they got that big run on him coming out of 4
Newman has a history of going airborne in these races before. I hope he has a full recovery. I don't blame Denny for celebrating. He had no idea what was going on at the time.
First race I've watched in years and I just couldn't go to sleep until I heard he was alive Monday night. In comparison Ryan's crash looked much worse than Dale seniors in 01. I hope he recovers, Kinda strange more information hasn't been released.
@@GraveDigger35 I was afraid since in crushed in next to his head then slid on that flat spot that his face got either burned or scraped along the track... Or fractured His skull, broke His neck... The potential for great harm was there.
@@tomwest8663 Already was... The more awareness, the more consciousness, and the more power in the prayer. Besides, it already has been taken care of, Ryan walked out of hospital fine & dandy today!
Ryan moved down to block Ryan (Blaney) - This is racing and they know the risks. Thank God the safety built into these cars. I dont blame any driver for the wreck, they were all going for the win.
Ryan went high then low...as in below the yellow line....risk/reward-------gamble win or lose. It was his fault ENTIRELY and he could have easily killed another doing so. I am not saying he should have died but he SURE put others at risk!!
I am so relived that, not only is Ryan not severely injured, he walked out of the hospital today with not even a visible scratch on him. I have to guess that maybe he was/is severely concussed. I don't know because nobody seems to be willing to give timely and at least moderately accurate and complete description of his injuries. Am I the only one who's just a little peeved that I had to go for over 2 hrs. wondering if he was near death or severely injured or burned? And then we were told that he was in serious condition but with no life threatening injury. They added that he was conscience and talking. In what world does someone in serious condition walkout of the hospital unaided within 48 hours? If I'm in a horrific wreak I want to go to this magic hospital. The lack of timely clarity regarding Ryan's condition jerked around with every fan's emotion unnecessarily and smacks of some wanna be PR guy/donkey having a good time being being a ... Not appreciated at all. Dale Sr. was killed at Daytona 500 in 2001 and it still stings. Every fan I know to the person was prepping themselves to hear we had lost Ryan also. All the angst apparently not needed. Whoever is responsible for this deserves a swift kick in the backside and I want to be first in line to do it.
I kinda feel that I jinxed him . I wanted him to win in Martin's old # 6 , Ryan being a veteran ! It would have made me feel good to see Kenseth and Newman run the Roush cars this year to show that Roush is still rocking ! Get better soon Ryan , we need you bud !
They may as well call NASCAR....PACKCAR racing and thays on reason I have lost interest, and didn't watch the race as I knew something like this WOULD happen AGAIN. NASCAR races are predictable so whats the point of watching? I don't watch a race hoping for a crash. Now, we watch a race knowing there will be one, a BIG one. NO THANK YOU. To fix this is easy.
I'm not a nascar fan at all any more . I followed nascar for years and I have been to many different tracks. I payed attention to this after I saw Ryan's crash on social media. I am happy is is ok , but I cant help but think it was kinda rotten of nascar to make people think Ryan was in critical condition. It is now VERY clear that he could not have been in critical condition sence he walked out of the hospital on his own about 24 hours after nascar said he was in critical condition. Any way I'm glad he was not serious injured and Ryan is one tough dude. I'm sure he is feeling pretty beat up.
Haven't watched Nascar in years, I tune in to watch and see nothing but crashes at 200mph and was disappointed to see what this sport has turned into and can't imagine how horrible it must feel to be a driver today knowing full well there is a really good chance they will most likely pile up. Prayers for Ryan Newman and his family and hope for a full recovery. This is not racing, its high speed demo derby AKA suicide.
@@MisterTwister88 Aye, nobodies fault. Shouldn't be shifting blame here. Denny Hamlin got Blaney loose, Blaney goes down to try and pass, Newman throws a slightly late block and lady luck took her path and Newman was at the wrong end of the stick. How it goes. A result of hard racing for a win, when you're going 200mph last lap of the Daytona 500 fighting for a win, you don't have the time or nerves to make the best decisions at all times. Just a free-for-all for the win, what happens happens.
I noticed that Everyone in this video was speaking of Ryan in past tense at end of video , Knowing he did survive the crash , they must feel his career of driving is over ?
This may be his last race like Bobbie Allison I hope not but very possible by the place he was hit and condition of his role cage. Now someone said he walked out of the hospital holding his daughter’s hand if that happened I think he’s going to be OK.
That was a dirty win and no one is flat out saying it..... If it walks like a Duck and quacks like a duck...... WEll......................? There are places on the race track you can do things and there are places you cant. They all know this. It wasnt a mistake and it wasnt an accident. He got punted and it hurt him....
I don't care if Ryan ever drives again. I'm just glad a 42 year old father of 2 gets to continue being that.

i always KNEW my NASCAR guys were REAL!!!!
What they're not saying about Newman's injuries is scarier than what is being said at this point.
Bryan Mulligan I’m taking the same approach as several others at this point: that no news is a good thing. If some terrible complication or other event were to happen we would have already gotten word. The fact that we haven’t is at least a little positive
@@dawsonwise3519 I hope I am 100 percent wrong, but if it were a few broken bones or something like that, we'd have heard to put everyone at ease. I'm afraid it's a life altering injury and both Ryan and his family need time to digest it before it's made public. Again, I hope I'm wrong.
Just listening to Juniors tone about when the time is right for them to see him just didn't give me a warm fuzzy. You could tell he knows there's something bad, but obviously couldn't elaborate on it.
Bryan Mulligan No matter the injury, it is up to the family. We will know when they want us to know. I’m not speculating anything until I hear something official. At this point, I’m just glad he is still with us.
@@dawsonwise3519 I completely agree that it's not up to us, nor are we owed an explanation.
God, hearing Junior talk about his dad’s accident almost brought me to tears. I don’t think I’ve ever actually heard him actually say “accident” or “dads crash” he always just skirts around it. That was a deep perspective.
19 years ago today
We all need to pray for him. God is good y'all.
The wreck I keep going back to is Austin Dillon's in 2015. Very similar wreck and almost a similar result. Dale won that race and I can't remember if his spotter or Ives mentioned anything to him on the radio. The ones I really feel bad for in all of this is LaJoi and Blaney. Blaney was visibly torn up but there wasn't anything he could have done differently and I don't think Newman would have wanted him to do anything differently really.
ForeverRanger 91 Austin got out of the car really fast. That’s the difference
There is video, his spotter did talk to him.
@@roboompa2465 You hear Dale go " Oh my God!" And then his Spotter " Huge wreck stop on the back straight"
I guess the feeling in 2015 was different because of how fast he got out. This was the closest experience I’ve had to the feeling that people had when Dale passed. I’ll tell you that the feeling I had was awful. I thought we lost him, I really did..
Jr saw it in has mirror
I am not a doctor but I spent 15 years running short tracks. That lick he took was a one in a billion shot. NO ONE has ever planned for a car bumper to come in the window opening on the drivers side. The Ryan Newman that climbed into that car ain't the same guy they took to the hospital. That was a BAD wreck. Dale knows it. Anybody that has ever been around circle track cars knows it. I just hope that he did not lose too much brain function. That was a bad wreck folks, a bad wreck.
Where did you hear about the entry into the cockpit window?
I think the wall hit was worse.
I agree Gene Martin getting hit at 200 mph right in the side is devastating. It’s a miracle he is alive. It’s a miracle he wasn’t “critical”, now we hope for one more miracle and that somehow he was protected far more than we fear. The wall hit was nothing. The vehicle hit was the most violent and direct hit I have ever seen in racing. I thought he was killed instantly.
According to randy lajoie that nascar said the impact was 55G's and the top driver halo was 6ins above the steering wheel...
@Colton Hamilton Actually Mr.Hamilton I've been following racing for some 30 years and seen the cars before sheetmetal is added. In this wreck however, the car was hit inverted.
Ryan is in my Prayers 1st , that said I have just Gained as much respect for Dale Jr. as one can have for a human .
Pray for him
@6 6 You got a better idea?
@6 6 Yeah, I see your little not-so-subtle "666". No one cares what you think, idiot.
6 6 You can say that praying is doing nothing if it makes you feel better, but we both know you’d be doing it yourself if you ever thought your life was in danger. You can’t openly admit that, of course, because doing so would take courage, which you don’t have because you are lost, but it really makes no difference if you admit it or not. What matters is that you know deep down inside, just as well as I do, that what I said is true, and there’s absolutely no doubt that you do. We both know that if you only had seconds left to live, you’d most definitely apologize to God for the ignorance and blasphemy you’ve spewed, all for the sake of hopefully being seen by other people as the edgy rebel that you want them to think you are. Unfortunately for you, you won’t be able to say that you never had the opportunity to acknowledge the truth, if you end up waiting until it’s too late, but, if that happens, I seriously hope your sad attempt to look cool on the Internet will have been worth it to you. Unfortunately, it appears as though that attempt didn’t even succeed, anyway, which means there was absolutely no benefit to it, whatsoever, and that makes it even worse. In my opinion, at least, the fact that you failed so miserably, and yet got nothing out of it, at all, is the saddest, most pathetic part about it. To be honest, I’d probably feel kind of bad for you if you didn’t deserve it, but, you do, so, nah. Better luck next time. God bless.
Dang I actually have jesus
I don't know what happened in the Newman's marriage nor is it ANY of my business BUT I do hope and pray this will lead to them reconsidering their decision to seperate and that they can reconcile.Many prayers for a full recovery Ryan.
Amen!
Thank you Dale for your insite

Praying for ryan newman to make a speedy and full recovery !📿
Dale is right where he’s needed most. The insight, the level of respect and straight talk he brings is desperately needed ‘Oxygen’ to the sport of NASCAR.
As a father, both’ HIS couldn’t be prouder.
I grew up watching nascar and was a Ryan Newman fan. I watched all the races and even though he was never the best one, I stuck with him. As of late I’ve fallen out of love with the sport and haven’t really watched the past 3 or 4 seasons. For some reason I turned on the 500 last night with 20 laps left. It’s like something told me to be there with him. Just wild that this is how it played out. Praying he gets better, he was a big part of my childhood.❤️
Just goes to show that each of us should always care and respect our fellow human beings. Never know when things like this can happen. Love you Ryan and get well soon.
What a great sight seeing Newman WALK out of the Hospital with his 2 girls ! THAT got the water works going !
Thanks JR for giving the perspective on the Victory lane thing, people just got to hate... :(
The way that Jr. is talking about Ryan makes it seem as though things are not looking too good. I hope he makes a speedy recovery and gets back on the track in the future.
TheAnimator10 19 years ago his dad died maybe that had something to do with it
Ryan Newman is not going to Vegas. That is for sure.
TheAnimator10 On February 18 of 2001 I believe
@@deanswart8477 Yeah, today is the day Senior died.
@@WALTERBROADDUS For sure. It's going to be a while probably.
LOVE TO HEAR HOW JR THINKS WHEN RACING AND WINNING LOVE HIS CONCERN FOR RYAN PRAYERS LOVE AND LIGHT TO RYAN AND FAMILY ❤💯
Thanks to the efforts of people like Jeff Burton, racing has been made a lot safer, but it's time people like Brad and Joey figure out that this can be a deadly sport, especially at the super speedways. I think Kyle learned that a few years ago at Daytona, and became a better driver for it. Prayers for Ryan's speedy recovery.
im so glad he mentioned ryans " hardest guy to pass" thats awesome
Knowing now that Ryan walked out of the Hospital, things are great. But JR's insight into this is good to hear.
in the 90's,you had mid 30's to early 40's drivers,last lap you usually had half the field withina half second at the end and great races.,heck,look at the fall dega race in 2000..still had 25-30 cars runing
Yup. It's a bunch of kids out there with no business being in Nascar.
First thing I thought of was Dale Earnhart. He hit the wall the same, and the crash was a lot less severe, and passed. This man got lucky.
In car sounded brutal
Good on NBC for giving Dale the time he needed to speak his mind about Ryan.
Newman is one of the few I actually keep track of on the rare occasion I watch a race these days.
He's a throwback, a man amongst all the cookie cutter little pretty boy racers NASCAR seems
to churn out these days.
All the best and prayers for Ryan and his family. That's all that really matters here.
-Ed on the Ridge
My sentiments exactly regarding Newman as a throwback and one of the few, if only reasons I watch NASCAR, though I attend local short tracks for modifieds when I can here in New England. I think there are many more of our ilk out here than the media know, or if they know, will acknowledge. Best, my friend!
The biggest bummer (on top of the obvious injuries) is that he was sooo close to kicking off perhaps his final year or one of his final seasons with a Daytona 500 victory. Would have been such a huge moment for his career, for Roush, for the 6 car which hasn't won since Mark Martin. Just to end in tragedy.
EDIT: Forgot David Ragan won in the 6. Still a long time ago.
I see comments on everything saying I hope Ryan makes a full recovery and gets back on track. I want him to make a full recovery too but as far as getting back on track it would be nice to see him race again and at the same time I could understand if he decided not to race again. So how about we all just be thankful he's still here for his 2 little girls and the rest of his family. Also people need to lay off of Hamlin and that team! They did nothing wrong as far as celebrating!
Thank You Mr. Burton & Mr. Latarte.
I knew the severity immediately. My stomach turned, heart dropped and it started racing. That wall hit was absolutely brutal.
With a comment like this makes it hard for me to believe denny crew did not know the severity of newmans crash. How could the crew not see it.
GOD bless Ryan and his family.I hope he has a 100% recovery.I hope he can race again if he wants to. It was a wicked bad wreck.I am glad he is still with us . my thoughts and prayers are with Ryan and his family. Thanks for the years of hard racing Ryan.👍🇺🇸
Dale you continue to amaze me. Your insight is like none other. I love you so much.
Been a Roush fan since the early 2000's, was really hoping that he could've won. I will say, I didn't think it could get any more classic than the Wyndham Rewards car, but it did. I know Folgers was his original sponsor, but that Koch Industries scheme is BADASS and puts that car back in Mark Martin blue. Hope he ccontinues to race as Roush has a real strong team this year.
The bright side on Ryan's part if he's done racing is he's an engineer. He can really put that into use into the Nascar world off the track. And I just hope to see him be able to make the best decision forward after this for himself.
When the wife files for divorce, maybe it's time to hang up the helmet?
Jared Storr there is no more engineering in nascar it’s just bolt parts on
@@dillonjohn3976 That is a broad oversimplification.
dillon ridling Clearly you don't know the characteristics of a vehicle that well. There's always margin for improvement into anything whether or not it's safety or performance wise. Mechanics like me can appreciate once in a while if something was made right or what not because we'll flip out at doing certain jobs due to the way something was made.
Really! Does anyone think Joe Gibbs would allow anyone to be anything but respectful if he knew how bad it looked for Newman!
Totally agree, the last person that would be disrespectful would be Joe Gibbs. People who have said that, have no knowledge of the sport. His son passed not long ago, he is a man of god. Get well ROCKETMAN
Thank You Dale Jr For Your Incites ; You Are Tha Man and Your Dad Was Tha Man Within The NASCAR Motor Sports Racing !!!!
Glad You Got Out Of Racing Brother !!
Martin Truex Is My Favorite, I Also Like Little Buddy Chase Elliot !! He Knows How To Drive A Car And Always Works Himself Back Up To The Front !!
God Bless 🙏🙏
Maybe I'm too closed minded but I don't how you take the danger out of getting hit in the window net at 190mph. The fact that Ryan did survive is a testament to the improvements nascar has made in their cars.
Michael Ault it’s not really a 190mph hit. It’s the net difference in the two vehicles speed. First car at 160 mph, second car at 195 = a 35 mph hit.
k Sheehan with the next gen car the driver is a little more centered. Not completely in the center but a couple more inches.
A lot of inexperienced young drivers in Nascar now. That's a big problem on these tracks. They don't have the maturity and patience the older guys do.
Patience doesn't exist when you're going 200mph, football field in a second fast, last lap of the Daytona 500. Things move too fast for all of the front drivers to calculate and make the best possible move last 5 seconds when fighting for a win.
nitrodjinn Not true. In the 90’s, drivers would race for hours straight with no cautions and never wreck. They realized that wrecking doesn’t pay. Only finishing does. These kids today can’t run 10 laps without wrecking half the field. Ridiculous. The last 6 laps, that’s when it’s time to go, but with finishing in mind. Not wrecking everything you’re in.
@@tmcorey1 And that's how these drivers raced. Last 16 laps it was a mad dash to the win. You can tell they weren't trying to wreck anybody, just rookie mistakes, but they've got to start somewhere. Logano got a big run and he bump drafted, unfortunately, Keselowski was in front and he got turned. Chastain was 10 mph faster and the 37 blocked too late. Blaney was caught loose by Denny and went low, and at that point when he was blocked it was simply too late, not Blaney's fault he got blocked. He was going to push Newman to the win but they got caught in the wrong spot and locked bumpers. And you forget how uneventful the first 2 stages were. There was one caution after 59 laps of nothing but clean racing, and he was turned by a driver who had been in the sport for around 10 years. The second wreck a rookie was turned by Aric Almirola, a 12-year veteran. They race hours without caution these days, too, just this ending was a bit more aggressive and rightfully so.
nitrodjinn In the 80’s and 90’s, there were no “the big one” where 20 cars were demolished. I recall a big one monday night, just like every other 500 for the last 20 years. They need to learn that to finish first, first you must finish. Being on a wrecker with 20 laps to go don’t get the big check or the trophy.
@@tmcorey1 You're entirely right, the "big one" is a recent event. But I think it's unreasonable to blame these on rookies or young drivers all of the time. They have to get started somehow in the cup series.
Think they were all driving over thier heads the whole race the risk factor was more than pretty high it was off the charts, bumping all through the corners, swerving all over the track, i mean nothing wrong with being aggressive but it was just insane how they were driving, it's a miracle that there wasn't more bad wrecks or more people getting hurt i called it while the race was on, I said if they keep driving like idiots somebody's going to get hurt and what happened?.?
Newman’s crash almost looks worse than dales and he’s walking 2 days later, goes to show how much safety equipment is in those things
i think its safe to say that all of these damned stage races and mandatory caution flags for no reason but to form everyone up for a bad wreck only ten laps later are to blame, and that its a good time to get rid of those gimmicks. no more green checkered, no more cautions for no reason, no more advertising wrecks. no more
this i like a darn race derby where hitting is allowed, of course there are going to be crashes. I had no idea it was this bad with almost every car hitting each other.
Ryan has been in the Hospital almost two days and we still don’t know what his injuries are. Nascar has set the race up that a drive is willing to run through another driver in the last lap even if it kills him. It’s all on NASCAR. Ryan Blaney run through Newman to try to win. Let’s find out what Ryan’s injuries are instead of Dale Earnhardt dying ok.
Hope he's ok....
He's awake and talking to doctors and family
@@michaelstamper3096 so I've heard
Update for anyone reading: Ryan has left the hospital walking out. Truly a resilient man
Do you know what time he got released?

Will Ryan give it some thought??
well said jr. all the best to ryan and his family
Glad Newman is doing well ..... I'm not a newman fan but that wreck was heartbreaking ..
HARDEST man to pass in racing!
Nice to hear DJs perspective.
Even though we have more updates and that he’s been released and walked out under his own power something is still a little off it seems that’s just my thoughts. I feel for JR you know stuff like this has to mess with him cause of his dad
i get the feel that newman's racing days are over..they are not talking about any injuries he sustained..that makes me wonder ok he survived and is talking....but does that mean he can race again?...
Sure it means he will race again. Been a fan of the sport since 1975 and saw a lot of way worse wrecks at Daytona. Rodney Orr comes to mind back in 1994 during a practice run over in turn 2. This was 2 days after Neil Bonnett was killed in a practice crash. I would be willing to bet more than 90% of the kids posting on here have never even heard the name Rodney Orr.
Awesome Words
Ryan Newman probably saved his own life. If not for the Newman bar I’m sure that roll cage fully collapses on him and we’d be having a very different discussion right now.
iTwerkley ...it’s called the Earnhardt bar, and became standard roll cage reinforcement after Dale wrecked at Talladega in 1996.
Two Black Labs There’s another bar that Ryan helped engineer after his wreck in 2009 with Harvick. When he was trapped inside the car, they redesigned the roll cage and added the Newman bar, which further keeps the roll cage in tact.
@@twoblacklabs904 the hans device became mandatory after dale srs death
@@chochoobaca55 Did not know that.
Jr. Talking about his Dad hurts us even more
i watched it as it happened, man, that was are hard hit on the drivers side. his car stopped (at this specific angle on the track), the rear bumper was still on fire and the fuel was pouring out of the fuel tank. some how, some way gravity was the key. glad he's ok.
Praying for Ryan & his family 🙏🏼 I remember what Jr is speaking about. This sport needs to change maybe there shouldn’t be a green white checkered
difference between newman and Jr is Jr would have held back a little in turn 3 and not get soo far out that they got that big run on him coming out of 4
Newman has a history of going airborne in these races before. I hope he has a full recovery. I don't blame Denny for celebrating. He had no idea what was going on at the time.
First race I've watched in years and I just couldn't go to sleep until I heard he was alive Monday night. In comparison Ryan's crash looked much worse than Dale seniors in 01. I hope he recovers, Kinda strange more information hasn't been released.
I wish I knew specifically what injuries Ryan suffered, so as to concentrate the healing energies of prayers and blessings upon Him...
I mean the most obvious one would be a concussion
@@GraveDigger35 I was afraid since in crushed in next to his head then slid on that flat spot that his face got either burned or scraped along the track... Or fractured His skull, broke His neck... The potential for great harm was there.
Kevin Kinney, God knows his injuries. Just pray for a full recovery. God will do the rest.
@@tomwest8663 Already was... The more awareness, the more consciousness, and the more power in the prayer. Besides, it already has been taken care of, Ryan walked out of hospital fine & dandy today!
Well said Dale Jr.!!!!!!
Ryan moved down to block Ryan (Blaney) - This is racing and they know the risks. Thank God the safety built into these cars. I dont blame any driver for the wreck, they were all going for the win.
Ryan went high then low...as in below the yellow line....risk/reward-------gamble win or lose. It was his fault ENTIRELY and he could have easily killed another doing so. I am not saying he should have died but he SURE put others at risk!!
Interesting Jr. keeps talking about Newman in the past tense.
I am so relived that, not only is Ryan not severely injured, he walked out of the hospital today with not even a visible scratch on him. I have to guess that maybe he was/is severely concussed. I don't know because nobody seems to be willing to give timely and at least moderately accurate and complete description of his injuries.
Am I the only one who's just a little peeved that I had to go for over 2 hrs. wondering if he was near death or severely injured or burned? And then we were told that he was in serious condition but with no life threatening injury. They added that he was conscience and talking. In what world does someone in serious condition walkout of the hospital unaided within 48 hours? If I'm in a horrific wreak I want to go to this magic hospital. The lack of timely clarity regarding Ryan's condition jerked around with every fan's emotion unnecessarily and smacks of some wanna be PR guy/donkey having a good time being being a ...
Not appreciated at all.
Dale Sr. was killed at Daytona 500 in 2001 and it still stings. Every fan I know to the person was prepping themselves to hear we had lost Ryan also. All the angst apparently not needed. Whoever is responsible for this deserves a swift kick in the backside and I want to be first in line to do it.
I kinda feel that I jinxed him . I wanted him to win in Martin's old # 6 , Ryan being a veteran ! It would have made me feel good to see Kenseth and Newman run the Roush cars this year to show that Roush is still rocking ! Get better soon Ryan , we need you bud !
Dale Jr needs to bring Ryan Newman onto the download
what is his current condition? like right now 02/20/2020 --- 11:58pm (I know, a lot of zeros and twos in that date)
What are his injuries?
Every body has their favorite driver but you don't never won't see this hope Ryan makes a full recovery
Make NASCAR great again
They may as well call NASCAR....PACKCAR racing and thays on reason I have lost interest, and didn't watch the race as I knew something like this WOULD happen AGAIN. NASCAR races are predictable so whats the point of watching? I don't watch a race hoping for a crash. Now, we watch a race knowing there will be one, a BIG one.
NO THANK YOU.
To fix this is easy.
Crashes are predictable, the winners aren’t
@@JackLikesTrackhouse The green white checker is predictable too. So thete you go.
As mentioned,the fix is easy.
I'm not a nascar fan at all any more . I followed nascar for years and I have been to many different tracks. I payed attention to this after I saw Ryan's crash on social media. I am happy is is ok , but I cant help but think it was kinda rotten of nascar to make people think Ryan was in critical condition. It is now VERY clear that he could not have been in critical condition sence he walked out of the hospital on his own about 24 hours after nascar said he was in critical condition. Any way I'm glad he was not serious injured and Ryan is one tough dude. I'm sure he is feeling pretty beat up.
Haven't watched Nascar in years, I tune in to watch and see nothing but crashes at 200mph and was disappointed to see what this sport has turned into and can't imagine how horrible it must feel to be a driver today knowing full well there is a really good chance they will most likely pile up. Prayers for Ryan Newman and his family and hope for a full recovery. This is not racing, its high speed demo derby AKA suicide.
You should have been around during the 80's and 90's. Loved that bump drafting.
NASCAR has always been dangerous. Motorsport is dangerous as a whole

Blocking is not wise at 200 mph !!!!
Gary Johnson Neither is running into the back of someone 🤷♂️
@@MisterTwister88 Aye, nobodies fault. Shouldn't be shifting blame here. Denny Hamlin got Blaney loose, Blaney goes down to try and pass, Newman throws a slightly late block and lady luck took her path and Newman was at the wrong end of the stick. How it goes. A result of hard racing for a win, when you're going 200mph last lap of the Daytona 500 fighting for a win, you don't have the time or nerves to make the best decisions at all times. Just a free-for-all for the win, what happens happens.
They were rubbin’, and rubbin’ son, is racin’.
I love the raceing he`d did
Praying for Ryan Newman
So what happens to the guy that bumped his car to make him crash? It's allowed? Seriously, I don't no the rules.
I noticed that Everyone in this video was speaking of Ryan in past tense at end of video , Knowing he did survive the crash , they must feel his career of driving is over ?
I sow a design in Las Vegas race track and it got a killer mistake on one of its turns
Watch the video of Jeff Gordon hitting that wall. It was before they put the safer barrier there.
ryan has few terrible crashes
but luckily he survive ... i believe
it's time for him to take a long
break.
This may be his last race like Bobbie Allison I hope not but very possible by the place he was hit and condition of his role cage. Now someone said he walked out of the hospital holding his daughter’s hand if that happened I think he’s going to be OK.
I dont like the use of past tense like WAS
That was awesome. Thanks.
That was a dirty win and no one is flat out saying it..... If it walks like a Duck and quacks like a duck...... WEll......................? There are places on the race track you can do things and there are places you cant. They all know this. It wasnt a mistake and it wasnt an accident. He got punted and it hurt him....
