Why didn't the fuel ignite? Because it wasn't race fuel! It was too thick too be race fuel. Had to be either rearend oil or motor oil out of the oil cooler.

I'll go with that. Surely had that been fuel things would have gone real bad fast...

It was engine oil out of the dry sump tank.

They run e98 if that was fuel it would have over with. I use e85 in my car you pour some out light it it burns nearly clear you see and feel the heat but very .little flame

I agree 100%

Most on here just wants to put Nascar down every chance they get. Do I agree with everything Nascar has done No I don't. They panicked when the fans that were caught up in the hype and not true race fans started to leave the sport. The racing hasn't really changed all that much but, what has changed was were they raced at. Gone are some of the smaller tracks that produced great racing and replaced by cookie cutter tracks that doesn't produce good racing. Gimmicks like the overtime has produced more carnage and cost the teams more money than is necessary. The chase I have mixed feelings on. Sometimes I think it's ok and at other times I think it needs to end.

And I agree with you 100%

Posted an update this afternoon, but no real update on his condition.

Yellow line rules need to go away. Speeds need to go up 10 to 15 mph. First 15 rows of seats need to go bye bye. Maybe take some roll bars out of the cars. Maybe the teenage drivers will start respecting these race cars

Media and nascar has been a big time fail. All the fans needed to know was that Ryan was alert and responsive.

Nascar doesn't even use restrictor plates anymore. The 2019 Daytona 500 was the last restrictor plate Race.

It did come out when the wreck started. Look at the 5 second mark the lights on the flag stand come on.

With a wreck/crash of that magnitude, with fuel pouring out of the car, safety crews taking longer to respond because of the cars still racing, etc., a red flag should of been thrown, instead of racing back to the flag stand, winner doing donuts, etc., etc.. If some of you's did not understand that's what I meant about NASCAR not caring about their drivers when I clearly mentioned about racing back to the flag, you's are the one's are that just looking at something to complain about.

I'm not sure you saw video of the wreck. It happened at the finish line while the checkers were flying. Throwing a red flag wouldn't have allowed the safety crew to get there faster, and the donuts didn't prevent the safety crew from getting to the scene.

And how many other cars were still racing, moving on the track, that the video doesn't show. The race included more cars at the end than Blaney, Hamlin and Newman. Most other race organizations throw out the red flag when a car flips or rolls, no matter the track size, and will only let them move once everything is deemed safe from the crash.

Those cars are doing 200 mph. When NASCAR throws a red flag, they don't come to an immediate stop. This isn't your Saturday night dirt track. It's also a 2.5 mile race track. The car pulling into the pits after the race are hundreds of yards from where Newman's car was.
