I remember screaming “Ryan Newman is gonna win!” And then seeing him just lift off of the ground and lose control was when I realized this could be a February 2001 repeat...
And Michael Waltrip, his employee who won the race fending off Jr, didn't know about it until Schrader told him in Victory Lane. Fox and Mike Joy deliberately tried to cover it up for the TV fans at home in hopes they are dumb enough to believe it's something minor, but Darrell Waltrip said otherwise, and the fans saw something different in the stands, and DW tried his best not to break down crying when his little brother mentioned Dale in the winning interview
Hamlin is too aggressive. You had Dale, Gordon and Johnson trying to win but never were too aggressive. They knew they were beat because if they pushed harder the lead car would have wrecked. They want exciting finishes not wrecking ones.
@@kateofone what would you want Hamlin to do. He is paid to race, to win races, to beat the best in that field. He slows down he will be beat by the other drivers, and his team owner will be sceptical on his ability. All he did was bump draft Blaney at the end, that is a textbook move that people should know how to do when racing at superspeedways. No one wants to be wrecked or see wrecked cars at the end, but racing is about drivers who try to push the boundaries of racing and do their hardest to beat each other. Dale Jr, Gordon, and Johnson are all some of the all time greats, and every driver is different to how they approach a race, but they are playing the long game, not focused on certain races, but for that championship. This is probably the biggest trophy Hamlin has a chance at winning all year so hell yea he will go for it.
@@nathancao520 Well Said. @Kate Russel I have a feeling Newman's crash will not be remembered in 10 years but Hamlin winning 2 Daytona 500's in a row will be. Hamlin is truly a legendary driver and the first to win back to back 500's in over 25 years.
@@nathancao520 Looks bad to non-desensitized people...just because you call it a "bump draft" doesn't mean you didn't nudge a car going 200 miles an hour and send a man to the hospital, then do donuts celebrating it.
@@kateofone You clearly don't know shit about racing or who tf Dale Earnhardt was. He was called the "Intimidator" for a reason. If you were in his way, he would drive through you for the win. That's racing, plain and simple. Put all those drivers, in that same scenario, and I bet they all do the exact same thing. Dale, was "never too aggressive." If he was still alive, he'd take that as an insult!
Absolutely incredible that he survived THAT but Dale didn’t survive his. Goes to show how far safety precautions and procedures have come in this sport.
I haven't gone back and watched it again yet, but this one also looked like it wasn't as direct into the wall as Dale's. The bouncing and rolling looked worse, but isn't.
Apparent when Dale died his seatbelt didn’t even work so his chin slammed the wheel, came back and his head hit the seat as hard as falling from 6 stories.
1:53 You can hear Mike Joy struggling to talk. Both announcers have seen the worst and know the risks of this sport. They have to remain professional in this situation to keep the viewers calm and not worried on Newman's self being.

That one guy but there is always an idiot driving behind you doing moves that are above and beyond the limits of the skill of the driver and the car’s capabilities.

I can't imagine being a family member to these guys..they take the same ride as the driver and sometimes the excitement can turn into something terrible like this race for the Newman family. May God give you all strength to help him through his injuries.
I was watching this and when Blaney turned Newman I was like, "OOOOOOOOH" without realizing. I saw the wreck on slow motion and I just sat there in horror. They put up a screen and I thought they were pulling a dead body out of that car.
Well, they want to avoid lawsuits, and they also put up screens when the injuries are M-rated, not necessarily fatal. When Earnhardt's body was pulled out of the car, they didn't put screens up or tarps on the car, so some keen fans saw a gruesome display from afar
Honestly was cheering for him to lose, I don't have a lot of respect for the guy, still glad he's ok and never once would wish death upon them but Hamlin's win was amazing
Me and my mom were so scared for him even though hamlin is my favorite racer it was so scary to watch a crash live on TV and I prayed for him and I’m thankful he is ok right now
It's scary how the call at 1:05 slowly gets more and more somber with the realization of the severity of the accident. I'll never forget this night. Refreshed every social media app nonstop for hours until they put the statement out.
My friend is a fan of Newman, he started jumping around all happy knowing he was about to win, then broke into tears after seeing the car after the accident, he thought he was dead for sure.
Man that picture of Newman's car way up in the air after been hit by Lajoie is really nasty. This crash reminds me of Geoff Bodine's Truck's crash here at Daytona as well. I'm so glad he is alive but in serious condition. Thank you Safer Barrier, Roll Cage, Hans Device, and Seat for protecting Ryan from this horrific looking crash.
UPDATE: He’s in serious condition, but his injuries are non life threatening! Praise God Ryan is still with us! Pray for his family including his wife & little girls!
Amen! Realistically, and UNFORTUNATELY, " NON-Life Threatening Injuries" DO NOT EXCLUDE Amputation,Paralysis AND/OR Brain Damage!!... BUT we'll PRAY that he walks away a little banged up and will race again IF HE SO DESIRES !!!!
Here's another great example of safety engineering, 75° impact angle into a concrete wall at ~186mph, and only a sprained ankle from it. Things have come so far. th-cam.com/video/1hW5MpdA5Cg/w-d-xo.html
Spent this whole evening updating Twitter constantly. Haven’t had an uneasy feeling like that, I was 7 when Dale passed so my dad telling me he died from that, didn’t even make sense and I was lost. Watching this in person, as my dad calls me from the track, a silent track, to ask me if Ryan was alive and if I knew more since he was at the track, was hard to say “i don’t know dad, I don’t know”. So happy he is alive and with us
Me too i am hoping he finally wins a race I haven't seen Ryan Newman win a race for 2 years the last race I saw him win was when he raced in Phoenix a couple years ago
When you block once you will get away with it, you block the second time and you get wrecked most all the drivers know this. Its the nature of plate racing. Ryan was doing what he had to too win. My prayers go out to him for a speedy recovery.
Hamlin fist pumping and doing doughnuts, he probably was unaware how bad the crash was. He’s not watching it on TV , he’s going 200mph trying to win the Super Bowl of his sport. Reminded me of how Michael Waltrip won Daytona when Earnhardt died. He was ecstatic cause he never could win it before , and he finally did. Had a piece of confetti stuck to his forehead in the winners Circle talkin to the press. DW was in the booth too, he actually saw the wreck in full, and he was seriously conflicted. He was happy for his baby brother , but over and over he kept saying , man I hope Dale is ok.
As a fan of NASCAR, I remember watching this race live and I had never seen a more violent crash than Newman's in a very long time. I'll be honest, before the news came out that Ryan was ok, I cried a little post-race because I also thought that we lost him. I really thought and that night felt like I (we) had witnessed a repeat of February 2001... Thank God Ryan was ok because that was a horrific wreck and one I will never forget
On tv.... I watched it as it happened. I went from being pissed Blaney lost, to stunned when they showed Ryan's wreck, then sick and terrified when Ryan wasn't climbing out, and they weren't rolling the car back over. Then nearly in tears when it broke on Twitter about the media leaving pit road, and the privacy mesh going up. Then anxious for the 11pm announcement on Ryan Newman. I was expecting and dreading to hear a version of "on the last lap of the Daytona 500, We have lost Ryan Newman", then relief when it was confirmed that Ryan was alive
Rewatching this after the Formula 1 crash this weekend with Romain Grosjean. I had identical feelings on both of these crashes. Seeing it, I knew it was gunna be bad.
I was watching both of them with my family. My family was lying in bed for Daytona, and then me and my dad were watching the F1 race later that year for Grosjeans crash.
In 2001, all safety improvements post-Dale didn't exist, he would have died the moment the car went on its roof or literally nearly torn in half from the 32 impacting it on the side, no HANS device would have saved him if it was 2001
I remember watching this live--and every time I heard the ESPN alert on my Chromebook, I would think it was the announcement that Newman had died. But there was a great meme I saw where Newman is in the bottom half of the photo, looking up as if to heaven, and Earnhardt Sr. is looking down from the top half--and the caption read: _"Not today, kid._ Not on _MY WATCH!"_
Guys quit shitting on Hamlin... When he was interviewed in victory lane, and stopped celebrating and not only was his voice trembling, but so was Ryan Blaneys and Chris Buescher's
Because he realized it would be a bad look to celebrate MORE when you almost just killed a guy. His voice is trembling because he shouldn't have made it out of the stadium without being slammed to the ground. He doesn't have an unselfish bone in his body
@@AceMiggy people just want any reason to hate. It it was any one of the "chosen" racers they would not think twice. Hating just to hate. Makes me wonder if they have ever seen a nascar race to know that this is all part of racing. Lol
That rememberd me the 2007 Daytona 500, an huge crash followed by an incredible finish, sadly because of Newman's injureies, nobody talked about Hamlin's big run trough the trioval
watched this live and distinctly remember the way my stomach just about fell out from under me....watching the EMS crew frantically getting assistance from others, seeing how long he was still in the car, and I couldn't help myself from thinking "oh my god.....I just watched the death of Ryan Newman". words couldn't even begin to express my relief when the reports started coming in that he was stabilized and his condition was improving. one of the most brutal wrecks I have seen in modern NASCAR
I hope Hamlin thinks about this. He almost killed another fellow driver. Completely preventable. Disgusting and stupid driving. I don’t know how anyone can support Hamlin after this. Real classy doing donuts while they are trying to get the other driver out. Piece of crap.
Bump 2 Win. Sometimes that's the name of the game, although I would speculate that they "never" do it intentionally. They always follow super close. Everybody does it if they can, and sometimes you get spun. It's an accepted part of the sport.
Yes and no. The wall back in 2001 was concrete, meaning you're basically dead if you hit it head-on at 200 mph, no amount of HANS or CoT would make a difference in that impact (it's an energy dissipation issue, something that the SAFER barrier would have in mind), and Newman got hit in the one area where there was little to no protection, meaning most outcomes would result in death because the roof wasn't reinforced, neither were the sides, so he got lucky or had divine intervention through Earnhardt. The one thing comparable is that their crashes were grievous and gnarly, as they got the worst hits in racing, one from sudden stop, another a literal T-bone head on at 200 mph
Earnhardt Sr: bumps into a wall, dies. Newman: spins into a wall, catapults into the air, flips, skids down the track on his roof, sparks flying, lives. How the HELL....
Earnhardt Sr. hit the wall hard and stopped instantly. At least his car did. Your heart and your brain don't much like being slammed into your sternum and skull at over 100 MPH. Newman's crash looked more dramatic, but his momentum was slowed more gradually. There was a really dramatic crash in the Daytona in which Sr. died too. And the drivers in that wreck walked away.
I'm still in shock that he was released from the hospital less than 48 hours after the crash. I'm not sure if that's a bigger testament to how far safety has come over the years or just how tough he is.
Can’t believe it Nascar has come so far. Even though Dale died, nascar has been incredibly safe, especially in the last 15 years. Let’s hope the next gen car can be better even though it had a rocky start.
This crash seems so tame compared to the one Grosjean just had today, which is so surreal remembering how bad it actually was. This one could have had the same result has the Hubert F2 tragedy, yet Newman and Grosjean are still very much alive!
I remember being at home, alone when this happened. My sister was i don't know where. My grandmother at a casino. My dad at work. I remember the second the wreck happened, i called my dad screaming into his voicemail. Shouting that the worst may have happened again at daytona. My sister texting me asking if newman was okay, and i saying i don't know. And finally calling my grandmother to tell her what happened. I breathed a sigh of relief when they said he was okay and began to cry after that.
That whole thing is on Hamlin. He started the bumping and Blaney couldn't do anything about it. Very sad to see the race spolied like that. Very glad to see Newman is mostly ok.
Its on Newman too for putting the block, Blaney was going much faster and had room to go under but Newman dove down the track to block him and took it in the rear for his trouble.
How about it's on nobody? The Daytona 500 is one of the most prestigious events in sports, they always come down to drivers doing whatever they can to win. Nobody wants this to happen, but it's the chance every driver knowingly takes when they go out every week.
Ashlee Slavey Because NASCAR has this kind of accidents very frequently in super speedway races, so drivers are used to them and don't realize the severity of one when it's bad. There hasn't been a death in NASCAR ever since 2001 when legend Dale Earnhardt, Sr. lost his life in the last lap of that year's Daytona 500 (a lot of safety regulations were implemented after it), and still many crashes worse than this one have had drivers walk away unharmed. When Denny got told that Newman was injured he actually got concerned and sent prayers to him. Ryan has been cleared to race when NASCAR returns to the tracks the 17th of this month. So don't worry
I’ll be honest, when they showed the replay of him getting hit driver side first on the roof, I instantly thought he was dead. I was screaming “SOMEBODY GET HIM OUT!” because I thought that was leaking fuel that was going to mix with the fire and Newman would be burnt alive. Thang God he lived to see another day but it scared the shit outta me
I remember a mini-documentary geared toward answering the question of whether racing is a "real" sport since the drivers are "just sitting" in cars the whole time. And they talked about the g-forces up and down different curves being akin to what fighter pilots catch plus other stuff about focus and reflexes and splitsecond decision-making. I think they forgot to mention the fact racing is the only sport where the players need 3,500 pounds of armor and masterwork of engineering to survive any given mishap... And count yourself lucky if something doesn't explode. Might've been a funny super bowl commercial with football players on one side lined up against nascar drivers in their cars on the other side too... :) (Glad Ryan has no life threatening injuries, hope he has no permanent damage.)
devin taylor one of them was definitely positive through out but you could hear the other one had a feeling of concern. And I’m sure they did but in that moment one was oblivious and it was annoying
I know I'm 6 months late, but two main things here. One of The announcers jobs are too keep the viewers calm and collected. Stuff like this happens in NASCAR, and the safety tech in the cars are very good. Point number 2, if you watched live, after they came back from commercial, one of them were almost in tears. They were pretty rattled.
This reminds me to the scene of Cars movie, where Strip was rammed by Chick, Mcqueen who went first, return to help Strip causing Chick winning the Piston Cup, no one was celebrating with him because everyone was worried about Strip The King state, well, this moment reminds alot to that Cars Scene.
Within a span of a second, Newman went from going to win the biggest race of the year, to near death. The sport is very humbling
Yep. But that’s what make NASCAR and auto racing in general so unique.

He was literally about to win too. So sad. Praying for him Ryan Newman
Honestly was cheering for him to lose, I don't have a lot of respect for the guy, still glad he's ok and never once would wish death upon them but Hamlin's win was amazing
Kartracer6 no one will give a shit about Hamlin. That was a deadly crash
@@Bruce33Bliven I do. That was an amazing win from Hamlin idc what you try to say
It was a robbery.
@@Kartracer6 how was it amazing he only won because of Ryan's crash
Me and my mom were so scared for him even though hamlin is my favorite racer it was so scary to watch a crash live on TV and I prayed for him and I’m thankful he is ok right now
It's scary how the call at 1:05 slowly gets more and more somber with the realization of the severity of the accident. I'll never forget this night. Refreshed every social media app nonstop for hours until they put the statement out.
As a partial Newman fan, I do badly wanted him to win, I got so excited, but my soul left my body when he crashed.
Newman has some of worse plate race wrecks of all time
My friend is a fan of Newman, he started jumping around all happy knowing he was about to win, then broke into tears after seeing the car after the accident, he thought he was dead for sure.
Man that picture of Newman's car way up in the air after been hit by Lajoie is really nasty. This crash reminds me of Geoff Bodine's Truck's crash here at Daytona as well. I'm so glad he is alive but in serious condition. Thank you Safer Barrier, Roll Cage, Hans Device, and Seat for protecting Ryan from this horrific looking crash.
UPDATE: He’s in serious condition, but his injuries are non life threatening! Praise God Ryan is still with us! Pray for his family including his wife & little girls!
Didn't they break up a few days back?
No
@@zebunker noted.
@@zebunker He literally announced a few days ago that he was gonna get divorced
@@honotenshi Yes. They announced that they are separated.
This sucks. I hope they’re okay.
Dark Sparklez rip
Robert Plant why what happened?
Dark Sparklez I think he died from that crash
Robert Plant oh God.
Robert Plant no he didn’t he survived
"To the inside, here comes Hamlin to the outside, CRASH into the wall..."
Still gives me the chills a bit
Thanks for showing the actual footage without the media talking over it. Glad he's okay.
His condition is serious but thankfully, non life threatening 🙏🙏🙏 Get well soon Ryan
Amen!
Realistically, and UNFORTUNATELY, " NON-Life Threatening Injuries" DO NOT EXCLUDE Amputation,Paralysis AND/OR Brain Damage!!... BUT we'll PRAY that he walks away a little banged up and will race again IF HE SO DESIRES !!!!
Shout out to the welder
Here's another great example of safety engineering, 75° impact angle into a concrete wall at ~186mph, and only a sprained ankle from it.
Things have come so far.

Or you could just use carbon fiber monococks like any other racing event. ...
@@bernhardlangers778 how many people die or get seriously injured in indycar/formula 1 wrecks? These are the safest design possible.
@@bernhardlangers778 Let's drive costs up astronomically.
Mostly the design engineers and FEA softwares lol
My friend was sitting in row one.....got hit in the forhead by a small piece of debris.
Was you friend ok?
They ok?
Damn, that crash into the wall looked alot worse than Dale Earnhardt Sr's crash.
Spent this whole evening updating Twitter constantly. Haven’t had an uneasy feeling like that, I was 7 when Dale passed so my dad telling me he died from that, didn’t even make sense and I was lost. Watching this in person, as my dad calls me from the track, a silent track, to ask me if Ryan was alive and if I knew more since he was at the track, was hard to say “i don’t know dad, I don’t know”. So happy he is alive and with us
That was one very scary crash... 😣
I'm glad to hear that he survived and I hope he recovers well! 🙏🏻
Me too i am hoping he finally wins a race I haven't seen Ryan Newman win a race for 2 years the last race I saw him win was when he raced in Phoenix a couple years ago
A very scary moment we take the safety of the cars for granted it is still a very dangerous sport
When you block once you will get away with it, you block the second time and you get wrecked most all the drivers know this. Its the nature of plate racing. Ryan was doing what he had to too win. My prayers go out to him for a speedy recovery.
Hamlin fist pumping and doing doughnuts, he probably was unaware how bad the crash was. He’s not watching it on TV , he’s going 200mph trying to win the Super Bowl of his sport.
Reminded me of how Michael Waltrip won Daytona when Earnhardt died. He was ecstatic cause he never could win it before , and he finally did. Had a piece of confetti stuck to his forehead in the winners Circle talkin to the press. DW was in the booth too, he actually saw the wreck in full, and he was seriously conflicted. He was happy for his baby brother , but over and over he kept saying , man I hope Dale is ok.
As a fan of NASCAR, I remember watching this race live and I had never seen a more violent crash than Newman's in a very long time. I'll be honest, before the news came out that Ryan was ok, I cried a little post-race because I also thought that we lost him. I really thought and that night felt like I (we) had witnessed a repeat of February 2001... Thank God Ryan was ok because that was a horrific wreck and one I will never forget
I was in the stands when this happened. Crazy finish. Praying for Newman!
that must have been horrifying to watch as it happened, I'm happy he survived.
On tv.... I watched it as it happened.
I went from being pissed Blaney lost, to stunned when they showed Ryan's wreck, then sick and terrified when Ryan wasn't climbing out, and they weren't rolling the car back over.
Then nearly in tears when it broke on Twitter about the media leaving pit road, and the privacy mesh going up. Then anxious for the 11pm announcement on Ryan Newman. I was expecting and dreading to hear a version of "on the last lap of the Daytona 500, We have lost Ryan Newman", then relief when it was confirmed that Ryan was alive
"Came to rest" at 1:17. Emergency trucks there at 1:36 --> 20 SECONDS!!
They cant drive fast because of OIL.
@@a1w23 I meant that 20 seconds was incredibly fast.
Thank you Wesley for the good clear video of this, it's always hard to find the actual footage in today's TH-cam.
Definitely one of the wildest things I've seen in my 21 years of nascar watching
Rewatching this after the Formula 1 crash this weekend with Romain Grosjean. I had identical feelings on both of these crashes. Seeing it, I knew it was gunna be bad.
At least both of them are now ok and happy
I was watching both of them with my family. My family was lying in bed for Daytona, and then me and my dad were watching the F1 race later that year for Grosjeans crash.
And now here he is, back in a car, racing as hard as he did before. All is well in the NASCAR world.
Even though that wreck was basically the king crash , I'm happy that he's still alive!
If it were 2001 we wouldn't have him here today...
Not everyone refused to wear a hans device in 2001 lol...
In 2001, all safety improvements post-Dale didn't exist, he would have died the moment the car went on its roof or literally nearly torn in half from the 32 impacting it on the side, no HANS device would have saved him if it was 2001
He's awake and talking to family and doctors as of 6:05 PM EAST
I remember watching this live--and every time I heard the ESPN alert on my Chromebook, I would think it was the announcement that Newman had died. But there was a great meme I saw where Newman is in the bottom half of the photo, looking up as if to heaven, and Earnhardt Sr. is looking down from the top half--and the caption read: _"Not today, kid._ Not on _MY WATCH!"_
Thoughts and prayers with Ryan Newman. #Praying4Newman
Seeing the amount of fuel pouring at 1:29 is terrifying
The Final 16 laps of that race was absolutely insane though!!
in the fact hamlin started doing doughnuts after a crash like that really ticks me off
2:13 he got bonked by the window thingy lol
Window net
Guys quit shitting on Hamlin... When he was interviewed in victory lane, and stopped celebrating and not only was his voice trembling, but so was Ryan Blaneys and Chris Buescher's
Because he realized it would be a bad look to celebrate MORE when you almost just killed a guy. His voice is trembling because he shouldn't have made it out of the stadium without being slammed to the ground. He doesn't have an unselfish bone in his body
@@laa0fa502 tf are you talkin bout 😂
@@AceMiggy I was real fired up who the hell knows
@@AceMiggy people just want any reason to hate. It it was any one of the "chosen" racers they would not think twice. Hating just to hate. Makes me wonder if they have ever seen a nascar race to know that this is all part of racing. Lol
Looking at the crash makes me watch it over and over again. Good Job Hamlin!
Sheesh
That rememberd me the 2007 Daytona 500, an huge crash followed by an incredible finish, sadly because of Newman's injureies, nobody talked about Hamlin's big run trough the trioval
watched this live and distinctly remember the way my stomach just about fell out from under me....watching the EMS crew frantically getting assistance from others, seeing how long he was still in the car, and I couldn't help myself from thinking "oh my god.....I just watched the death of Ryan Newman". words couldn't even begin to express my relief when the reports started coming in that he was stabilized and his condition was improving. one of the most brutal wrecks I have seen in modern NASCAR
From what I've heard, he does plan to go back to racing once it go back to in person racing. I'm just really glad he survived.
I hope Hamlin thinks about this. He almost killed another fellow driver. Completely preventable. Disgusting and stupid driving. I don’t know how anyone can support Hamlin after this. Real classy doing donuts while they are trying to get the other driver out. Piece of crap.
Bump 2 Win. Sometimes that's the name of the game, although I would speculate that they "never" do it intentionally. They always follow super close. Everybody does it if they can, and sometimes you get spun. It's an accepted part of the sport.
spaceboy3101 I get it. It’s part of NASCAR. Doing donuts while they are trying to get him out isn’t. Show a little respect for the wreck he caused.
you sir, are a fucking idiot. Hamlin had nothing to do with Newman wrecking.
@@redsox63 Were you watching the same race as the rest of us?
@@ronreed6887 The one where Newman spun off the bumper of Blaney? And not Hamlin? lol Yep that's the one.
We go from Dale Earnhardt dying from a simple collision into the wall, to Newman being able to flip in the air in 20 years. Is that comparable?
Yes and no. The wall back in 2001 was concrete, meaning you're basically dead if you hit it head-on at 200 mph, no amount of HANS or CoT would make a difference in that impact (it's an energy dissipation issue, something that the SAFER barrier would have in mind), and Newman got hit in the one area where there was little to no protection, meaning most outcomes would result in death because the roof wasn't reinforced, neither were the sides, so he got lucky or had divine intervention through Earnhardt. The one thing comparable is that their crashes were grievous and gnarly, as they got the worst hits in racing, one from sudden stop, another a literal T-bone head on at 200 mph
It's not a simple collision
Dale hit his head to the steering wheel and broke his neck
Scariest crash I've ever seen in a while.Glad Newman is okay.
What about Austin Dillions crash?
I wanted my boy Ryan to win so bad. Glad he recovered.
Earnhardt Sr: bumps into a wall, dies.
Newman: spins into a wall, catapults into the air, flips, skids down the track on his roof, sparks flying, lives.
How the HELL....
Since Earnhardt died more and more safety measures were put in place to prevent that from happening again
Old Nascar didn't have cages yet
And earnhardt was 49 and hit his head to the steering wheel
He died on impact
There was barely ANY safety in the old cars.
Earnhardt Sr. hit the wall hard and stopped instantly. At least his car did. Your heart and your brain don't much like being slammed into your sternum and skull at over 100 MPH. Newman's crash looked more dramatic, but his momentum was slowed more gradually. There was a really dramatic crash in the Daytona in which Sr. died too. And the drivers in that wreck walked away.
The Rocket, Superman,,, same thing! Ha
Doin' donuts while everyone else is unsure if Ryan's still alive. You could've waited a couple more minutes for that showboat parade, Den.
I know would be doing donuts if i won the Daytona 500. You would too...
I'm still in shock that he was released from the hospital less than 48 hours after the crash. I'm not sure if that's a bigger testament to how far safety has come over the years or just how tough he is.
Or, maybe _both?_ I'm just sayin'.
I just hope that he is going to be ok
Serious condition but non life threatening
Nick Crim I just read that on TMZ after I typed the comments
Nick Crim this doesn’t mean he’s gonna be the same or gonna be ok still tho
@@noahrocheedits987 well hell better than being dead ain't it.
You sat and watched this bullshit. Wow. Smh
Can’t believe it
Nascar has come so far.
Even though Dale died, nascar has been incredibly safe, especially in the last 15 years.
Let’s hope the next gen car can be better even though it had a rocky start.
One of the scariest finishes in history, a miracle that he survived
This crash still scares me to watch. I can't imagine what he felt there.
zetch Too Many Pains.
Damn, really hope that he’s okay
Im so glad hes ok now
Glad you’re OK brother 🙌
I remember watching this live in my living room. We were so scared for Newman man.
1:28 gas near the fire.
my mind: Han's death flashback
Also me: *Oh shit, Oh shit, Oh shit!!!*
It wasn`t gas, it was oil that were leaking out from the car.
@@patrickanderson9023 it was coolant
Not a good joke
The commentators seem unconcerned with his well-being
are you kidding...they had the hardest job in the world....trying to keep the viewers calm
Dawg do you know the job of the announcers
Wow dude.
Wow dude.
Fish Productions I don’t agree. Most announcers seek to mirror or even amplify the excitement on the field.
This crash seems so tame compared to the one Grosjean just had today, which is so surreal remembering how bad it actually was. This one could have had the same result has the Hubert F2 tragedy, yet Newman and Grosjean are still very much alive!
Safety features showing their purpose. Without bevies of failsafes and defenses, both of them might not be here today. Technology is amazing
Yup. I came here to rewatch this crash. I had identical feeling watching Grosjean live as I did watching Newman live. Scary stuff.
This man survived some wild wrecks at plate racing and walked off but this wreck right here I thought he was gone.glad he survived this one
I remember being at home, alone when this happened. My sister was i don't know where. My grandmother at a casino. My dad at work. I remember the second the wreck happened, i called my dad screaming into his voicemail. Shouting that the worst may have happened again at daytona. My sister texting me asking if newman was okay, and i saying i don't know. And finally calling my grandmother to tell her what happened. I breathed a sigh of relief when they said he was okay and began to cry after that.
That whole thing is on Hamlin. He started the bumping and Blaney couldn't do anything about it.
Very sad to see the race spolied like that. Very glad to see Newman is mostly ok.
Its on Newman too for putting the block, Blaney was going much faster and had room to go under but Newman dove down the track to block him and took it in the rear for his trouble.
How about it's on nobody? The Daytona 500 is one of the most prestigious events in sports, they always come down to drivers doing whatever they can to win. Nobody wants this to happen, but it's the chance every driver knowingly takes when they go out every week.
They were both aggressive and they knew the risks. As long as Newman lives to race another day, I think it's a spectacular way to end a race.
You could change the roles for all three drivers and they would have done the same thing.
Does blanket not have a brake pedal?
The fact he was putting his fist in the air just makes me mad like how would you not be worried for them rather you won or not ?
Ashlee Slavey Because NASCAR has this kind of accidents very frequently in super speedway races, so drivers are used to them and don't realize the severity of one when it's bad. There hasn't been a death in NASCAR ever since 2001 when legend Dale Earnhardt, Sr. lost his life in the last lap of that year's Daytona 500 (a lot of safety regulations were implemented after it), and still many crashes worse than this one have had drivers walk away unharmed. When Denny got told that Newman was injured he actually got concerned and sent prayers to him. Ryan has been cleared to race when NASCAR returns to the tracks the 17th of this month. So don't worry
he didn't see the whole wreck lmao. Also, you just won the Daytona 500, how would you react?
Dear Lord give this man a chance at living and a full recovery ahead and keep his family strong. Amen
I’ll be honest, when they showed the replay of him getting hit driver side first on the roof, I instantly thought he was dead. I was screaming “SOMEBODY GET HIM OUT!” because I thought that was leaking fuel that was going to mix with the fire and Newman would be burnt alive. Thang God he lived to see another day but it scared the shit outta me
The way Jeff’s voice caves in when he says “…upside down…” at the beginning is haunting.
You could tell once he didn’t get out, they were like “Oh shit”
And of corse, freakin Hamlin won. I was so hoping Newman would’ve won that.
I remember a mini-documentary geared toward answering the question of whether racing is a "real" sport since the drivers are "just sitting" in cars the whole time. And they talked about the g-forces up and down different curves being akin to what fighter pilots catch plus other stuff about focus and reflexes and splitsecond decision-making. I think they forgot to mention the fact racing is the only sport where the players need 3,500 pounds of armor and masterwork of engineering to survive any given mishap... And count yourself lucky if something doesn't explode. Might've been a funny super bowl commercial with football players on one side lined up against nascar drivers in their cars on the other side too... :) (Glad Ryan has no life threatening injuries, hope he has no permanent damage.)
So glad he wasn't hurt much worse. Was terrified for him and his family.
This was the best first Nascar race to watch
Why did the commentator sound so positive about it like he was making a pass or something 🤦🏼♂️
trust me he wasnt positive he was just amazed, when they talked about it both were tearing up
Well....his name IS, Mike "Joy".
@@TripAMD Nice, i would like to see Mike "Joy" falling from the stairs just to say:
""Ahahahaha hey Mike Joy is falling"...
devin taylor one of them was definitely positive through out but you could hear the other one had a feeling of concern. And I’m sure they did but in that moment one was oblivious and it was annoying
Chris Tuttle oh well damn that makes perfect sense! Lol
One of the reasons he survived is because his driver seat was moved to middle of the car if I wouldn't of been there he would be dead☠️
I like how the car up and flips airborne does 10 spins, lands on the roof and catches fire and the announcers all nonchalant.
They didn't know
I know I'm 6 months late, but two main things here. One of The announcers jobs are too keep the viewers calm and collected. Stuff like this happens in NASCAR, and the safety tech in the cars are very good. Point number 2, if you watched live, after they came back from commercial, one of them were almost in tears. They were pretty rattled.
Denny Hamlin celebrating while Ryan Newman was still in his car made me hate him so much, looks like he only cares about his win
Thank God That Ryan Newman survived that crash.
it wasn't god
Dude celebrates after creating this mess.
I mean he didn't know the extent of everything
Michael Schausten but still like the guy crashed at least show some concern
He didn’t know until he got to victory lane when his team owner said what happened
did u not see his interview
@@jaredchacon2645 watch his interview
He is so lucky to be alive
If Dale didn’t die, many more would
Im so glad we don’t have to say “fly high Newman🕊️”
This reminds me to the scene of Cars movie, where Strip was rammed by Chick, Mcqueen who went first, return to help Strip causing Chick winning the Piston Cup, no one was celebrating with him because everyone was worried about Strip The King state, well, this moment reminds alot to that Cars Scene.
