RACE thread --- Daytona 500

[spindoc]

Blaney is the one who wrecked him.

Denny pushes Blaney until it caused Newman to wreck. He could have backed off.

 

[kkfan91]

Ugh

 

[CamelPowered]

Tarps out for extrication. Scary

 

[AdoubleU24]

They didn't even mention if he was alive...

 

[KodiakRusty89]

I've gone years without the words "Halifax Hospital". I really hoped I wouldn't have to hear it again....

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Mike and Jeff legit look shaken. “That’s all we can tell you” shivers up my spine. Damn, this sport is dangerous I hate that I forget that sometime

 

[Clutch]

Can we quit trying to find blame.
Let's just worry about Newman.

 

[DSquad48]

They had black screens around the car as Newman was transported to ambulance. Not a good sign.

 

[JBone88]

Newman should’ve won the race. Now he’s in the hospital.

I feel terrible right now.

 

[spindoc]

Newman had the victory in sight. Hamlin was left out to dry. Hamlin lucked into the win. Blaney is really sick about what happened to Newman. I pray Newman is ok.

Yep. Blaney is a class act. Hamlin doesn’t give a crap about Newman. God forbid Newman does t make it. If he doesn’t, NASCAR needs to stop racing at Daytona or Talladega. Period.

 

[Kiante]

Really do not like Mike Joy’s tone right now.

Neither did I.

I'm praying for Newman man, the accident made my heart drop man.

These drivers are human, racing is dangerous and we should appreciate just how courageous it is to partake in this profession. No matter how decorated or non-decorated someone is, it takes a lot heart and determination to do this.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Damn, Joy and Gordon sound not good.
Hamlin is a piece of trash. They're still celebrating.

 

[DSquad48]

Jeff holding back tears

 

[ToyYoda]

This is f**king gut wrenching.

 

[Brentford]

Them making no mention of whether Newman was talking or moving really scares me.

 

[Michfan]

So sick of plate racing

 

[StandOnIt]

Taking the high road, they weren't frantically working on him, it was more like when Almirola wrecked, making sure he wasn't hurt anymore getting him out.

[Biggreen695]

Guys judging by Hamlin's face when it showed his in car I dont think he realised the severity of the accident.

I've got a very, very bad feeling about this.

Praying.

Then they would've mentioned he's awake and alert. And they didn't do that.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

I find it weird that they did not check to see if Newman replied to radio chatter from his CC or spotter.

Do you think the radio survived the wreck? Or no communications were traded?

When Almirola had his wreck they aired his radio communications.

 

[be9ak7ts16]

It’s been a long time since a wrecks had me this worried.

 

[StewartHaas-Gibbs Racing]

Really hope Newman is ok and they were just taking extra precaution.

 

[jws926]

Yes, but the big difference, they were showing them working on his car to get him out, they were not with Newman, that is a bad sign.

 

[AdoubleU24]

Then they would've mentioned he's awake and alert. And they didn't do that.

I suppose it's possible they weren't given that info, but that's what stood out to me too.

 

[spindoc]

Number 1 we're praying for Ryan after I do a half dozen donuts by his badly wrecked car

Piece of human trash

Not Blaneys fault. Hamlin kept pushing even after Newman started getting squirrely. It’s Hamlins fault 100%. I hope this haunts him so bad that he quits racing.

 

[Marcingak]

I hope they stop racing completely at Daytona and Talladega in the next few years. The races suck, it takes no skill, and create very dangerous wrecks.Also, I hope Newman is OK.

Nobody is going to lift in that situation.

[aunty dive]

There were no radio comms.

Was it not reported that Newman was transported to hospital or is this a nightmare?

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Really do not like Mike Joy’s tone right now.

This. He and Gordon looked like they’d seen a ghost.

 

[jws926]

Oh this is bad

 

[harkin]

Feeling sick.

 

[DSquad48]

What happened to the broadcast?

 

[DIDIT]

Oh God, please let us hear that Ryan survived this accident and will recover. I am literally sick to my stomach over this and better not comment any further.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

We really arnt trying to assign blame here are we? Come on folks be better, it’s this type of racing

I doubt the radio was intact. The roof and rollbars of that car were destroyed. Very concerning.

 

[Simple Fan]

Damn hate that Hamlin won and the Newman situation. Hope he is ok.

I was listening to his radio, and it just quit when the wreck happened.

What happened to the broadcast?
