Ryan Newman would not have survived the 2020 Daytona 500 had it happened in 2001.
While Denny Hamlin celebrated a victory in the Daytona 500, emergency crews tended to the wrecked car of Ryan Newman, who’d been turned upside down and t-boned in the driver’s-side window.Emergency crews eventually unloaded Newman from the vehicle and into an ambulance, which drove back down the Daytona International Speedway frontstretch, lights flashing. Here is the final lap of the Daytona 500 in which Ryan Newman's car was flipped at the line.
Monday night, NASCAR executive vice president Steve O’Donnell brought a far better outcome: that Newman “is in serious condition, but doctors have indicated his injuries are not life-threatening.” Considering the look of the wreck and the condition of Newman’s car, that qualifies as a technology-aided miracle.
Newman was leading the final lap of the Daytona 500, looking to block Ryan Blaney and hold on for what would have been his second Daytona victory. But Blaney’s bumper caught Newman, sending him rifling straight into the wall. His car flipped upward, shearing off sheet metal as it flew, and landed roof-side-down in the middle of the track. Corey Lajoie, unable to see through the smoke from the wreck, plowed straight into Newman’s driver’s-side window — the most vulnerable point on the car.
