An hour later and ZERO updates on any sports news outlets. Wow! Not a good sign. I’m trying to recall, how long was it before we had a report on Dale Earnhardt for example? It was several hours before they said Dale was gone. Praying for Ryan Newman now.

“NASCAR's Steve O'Donnell has joined us in the media center.
Ryan Newman is at Halifax Hospital. He is in serious condition with non life threatening conditions.
O'Donnell read a statement from Roush Fenway that asks everyone to respect the family's privacy during this time.”

Glad to hear his injuries are non life threatening. It was a nasty crash for sure.
If it were me...I'd likely retire and count my blessings.

Newman is a fellow Hoosier...... You can see the B pillar caved in from impact....WoW! If you’re the praying type, pray hard. He graduated 3 yrs behind me at LaSalle High school in South Bend.

As I posted early on, I kind of like Christopher Bell. Before my grandson’s volleyball game, I was talking with some other parents and mention that I liked Bell as a young driver coming into the scene. As I was judging the game, one parent hollered over to me, 16 laps to go and Bell is Running second. If I’m reading correctly, it looks like he ended up 21st. So far I don’t find any incident by lap and I’m curious if anybody knows what might’ve happened to him?

That DON’T happen with 16 laps to go and your racing the biggest race of the year! The dual races on last Thursday.... yeah maybe!

I'm not a NASCAR fan, nothing against, just not my sport. But, the was one heck of an accident at the end. I really don't know how he survived that.
