Wow...

I watched the end of the race and it was a wild one. Lots of wrecks at the end so the Newman wreck almost felt like all of the others initially. It was bad though.

Hit squarely in the drivers door.

It looked like it was the driver side to me.

 

You’re right, I got it turned around cause it was upside down.

Yeah after he is hit, it flips over to where you can plainly see it was the drivers side. Too bad, really. This pushing and drafting is out of control. Blaney said that he was trying to hook up and push Newman to victory but their bumpers just got off. That is how fragile that is at 200MPH.

I don’t see it as Blaney’s fault. Newman was trying to block him. This stuff happens unfortunately.

Where can you watch post-race coverage?

 

Speed channel probably if you get it. (I think that’s what it’s called).

I agree. It wasn’t anybody’s fault.

[coldweatherfan]

No word yet. Just that he was taken to the hospital.

 

On a positive note. Those types of accidents typically don't cause as much human damage as abrupt stops do. ie Dale Sr and Kyle Busch's broken leg going straight in.

 

There have been a bunch of flying, rolling, fiery type crashes that the drivers were physically ok. There have been some that did not recover well mentally.

I agree to a certain extent but if you tap them in the turns they are going straight into the wall. That is why they don't draft in the turns except on last lap. And Newman was blocking.

Yes, remember when Dillon got up in the catch fence? No one thought he was walking away.

[sumoroyal]

Newman home town newspaper said he was awake in the hospital. I hope this is true.

I wish we’d get an update

Yea I’ve been refreshing Twitter. Hopefully By the time I get home from the gym, there will be word.
