Good point Soul. What are his injuries I wonder?? :?


I'd say concussion. Brain related injuries amongst the athletes are taken very seriously these days. And under those conditions, doctors could be afraid of internal bleeding in head, which we know was the case with Michael Schumacher.


It's great to see Ryan Newman wake and alert, smiling. Miraculous escape is what comes to my mind, even though NASCAR has done very good job with car and track safety which makes tragedies rare events. Thankfully.

Very well said and I couldn't agree more. I am unbelievably happy right now.

If he was concussed, I’m pretty sure NASCAR will make him wait at least 7 days before clearing him to drive.

What a turnaround though. I was half-convinced he was dead Monday night. Now he’s released back into the wild on his own feet.

Yeah, that will be the only thing stopping him. He'll still have to be passed fit in order to drive.

If he's behind the wheel in Vegas this is like Davey Allison's return after Pocono.

said, I too feared he was dead, one of my favorite drivers from NR2003 game. Can't believe how quickly this turnout to be a Miracle Escape of the year.


This. All of this in this topic and this accident is what motorsports is about. We want the battle for the win, we know it might end in tears. We were almost sure that this was one of those time. Now we're all happy again how one of our hero lives to race another day. Which is what he will do, because he's a racer.

Super glad to see he is ok. But at least put shoes on the man before you blast your heartwarming photo out to the blogosphere.

Given that 48 hours ago, I feared his best case scenario would be a lengthy rehab ala Robert Wickens, this is truly a miracle.

He's walking a bit funny in this clip, but that may just be his regular walk.

Incredible that he came away virtually unscathed.
