2021 NASCAR thread

I hope Ryan Newman is okay , that was a bad crash and track safety crew taking their time extricating him

 

That was a hard hit.

 

Dousing him with fire suppressant chemicals while he was trapped definitely didn't help.

 

At least they can say if he's conscious and alert

 

Reddit is going off the rails at Hamlin and Blaney. I haven't seen the replay but I thought Newman just went up to block Denny and got turned. He's always said, "if you want to pass me you gotta go through me." That's how Ryan's always raced. Toughest son of a gun to pass out there.

 

Oh crap they put up the screen.

 

I think it was more Blaney than Hamlin

 

He didnt win in 2008 by accident...

Prayers for Ryan.

 

Hamlin did them dirty and he knows that

 

Thoughts and Prayers to Ryan Newman and his Family !!!!!

 

Did you see the fuel gushing out of the car? Had to put out the fire.

 

Hamlin did nothing dirty.

That whole incident was last lap superspeedway racing.

Blaney went for the pass and got blocked... Newman went around and Hamlin stayed on the gas.

I feel bad for Denny right now... just like MW back in the day a great moment might get tainted by tragedy. You can see it in his face he hated to win like that. I feel for him Denny is a good guy.

Again... prayers for Ryan.

 

BUddy on the ground is saying they're clearing pit road and that it's bad. Gordon crying on TV ain't good.

 

Hamlin run that young boy up into the back of him knowing he wouldn’t be able to handle it... nothing but shake and bake from there for Hamlin. Hamlin knew what he was doing and the possible outcome of his actions.

 

Is nascar on another channel now?

 

The telecast is over.

 

I saw. They easily could have extinguished the flames at the rear of the car without spraying the whole car.

I also know how nasty that chemical is. I worked fire rescue at DIS from 94 to 98, and that shit would damn near suffocate us when we used it in the open. I can't imagine being trapped in the car and breathing it in.

 

Just read online on Nascar news feed that Newman was found unresponsive by EMT'S

 

Hope Newman’s okay.
