I was told that Chase Miller’s 2007 NCTS Daytona wreck looked fairly similar to Ryan Newman’s 2020 NCS Daytona 500 wreck. So I took a look… 😳 from NASCAR
Newman was in a position to win the Daytona 500 on the race’s final turn before everything went wrong, leaving him hospitalized and his colleagues trying to sort out a chaotic finish. Newman’s car was going into the final turn with a lead on everyone else. However, he crashed moments before taking the win. His car flips in the air and hits another car. And he lands roof first. In the flaming aftermath of the accident, Denny Hamlin won the race. The crowd fell silent and Newman slipped down the track in a drizzle of sparks and flares.
After that, Newman’s team made a statement after the race that his injuries were not life-threatening. Additionally, it was reported that he was “awake and speaking with family and doctors.”
