Thank god....

 

[StewartHaas-Gibbs Racing]

This is good news, at least it's not life threatening. Hope he recovers quickly!

 

[Clutch]

So thankful!

Anyone ever heard concept "everyone processes grief differently"? There is a fear that he has passed. People are anxiously anticipating this. In a situation like this, everyone here has a right to express whatever is is they are feeling, whether it's panic, anger, sadness, aggression etc. Everyone has a right to feel that way, we should be compassionate towards each other here. Not hostile.

Racing community just breathed a sigh of relief.

Pleased to hear that family and friends did not lose a loved one.

Hoping for a positive recovery.

 

[Michfan]

Thank God Ryan is one tough mother ****er

 

[Yogisd1]

I think we can all breath a sigh of relief. Now maybe civility can return.

 

[Kiante]

Thank goodness.

 

[StandOnIt]

Well who rah! I'll post the top 10 then

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Praise God!!!

Keep praying everyone!

 

[Speedbowl14]

Absolutely amazing. I am pleasantly shocked. Think about it. A car travelling 200mph impacted his roof roughly 6" from his skull.

 

[jws926]

"Not life threatening", we'll take it

 

[harkin]

Was expecting the worst.

Never been so happy to be proved otherwise.

God speed on a complete recovery.

 

[Nitro Dude]

I feel for the families and team members that were waiting to hear the news about Ryan's condition. I have been in that position a few times and whether it is your own driver or the driver from another team it is a long and brutal experience until you get the confirmation good or bad.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Thankful

 

[Rpmx]

Praise the Lord.. Great news!

 

[TexasRaceLady]

This is good news, at least it's not life threatening. Hope he recovers quickly!

Thank goodness. I can breathe. And my headache has disappeared.

He got lucky he doesn't have life threatening injuries, that's for sure.

 

[harkin]

Considering the abuse that car took it’s testament to the advances in car safety.

I could not stop thinking of that pre-race interview yesterday where Newman was blowing off MW while hugging his girls.

 

[BobbyFord]

Daytona should be a ****ing swap meet.
This isn’t racing.

 

[Spotter22]

Thanks, Whoever you are.

 

[Ford Racing]

I feel a little better now, but we don't know what type of injuries he has. Hope he's able to recover though!

 

[Speedbowl14]

Las Vegas can't come soon enough- that's the healing this sport needs right now.

 

[Yogisd1]

Well, I'm out of here. Rest easy everyone.

 

[Bob]

Newman wouldn’t go down without a fight. Thank god

Said same to my buddy who is a Newman fan. A tougher, bigger SOB you couldn't find. Best to him.

To do something that was more important.

 

[harkin]

That dood’s a human boulder.

 

[StandOnIt]

There is a hell of a lot of engineering skill involved along with luck. I believe it is the fastest safest racing out there for a very dangerous sport

 

[34R7H130UND]

That country boy strength

 

[Spotter22]

How about this, thank you NASCAR and your R&D for safety and thank you NASCAR for the on track safety teams. After what I went through with my brother I got a little on edge. My apologies to most.

[Bob]

That country boy strength

Country folks can survive.

 

[jws926]

FS1

Is live from the Race Hub studio

 

[Spotter22]

All True, I did it private, you brought it public. Proves my point

 

[BobbyFord]

Which is why that dude is on ignore...

 

[REBS31]

One of the biggest waves of relief I’ve ever felt in my life. I think this event should serve as a reminder to all of us that we’re not guaranteed even the very next second, and that any day could be it, even for the toughest of SOB’s like Newman.

 

[bigspud]

I feel a little better now, but we don't know what type of injuries he has. Hope he's able to recover though!

hopefully there are "no neck" injuries.
or is that no no neck injuries?

 

[Biggreen695]

Newman is a tough muddafukka

I know he is in a lot of pain and likely has a very long road to recovery, but thankfully he'll still get to be a father to his little girls.

Goodnight yall today has been one hell of a ride...
