    While I don’t like him or Hamlin, you cannot blame that stuff on them. Product of this POS racing.
    Yep! It's this style of racing that's to blame for this. The bump drafting and the pushing. It's a recipe for disaster. Yet, it's the way they have to race if they want to win. It's inevitable that there will be times when the "bumpers don't line up right" as the announcers like to put it, and in those instances things will go horribly wrong.

            Definitely not. No news, straight to the hospital. NASCAR and their plate racing segment BS. How much wrecking, airborne, killing people crap they need.


            Them drivers are in a terrible position. Ryan is a good young dude, and you could tell how affected he was by the Newman incident. Hopefully Newman will recover fine.
            Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

              Prayers for Ryan Newman. When the black screens go up around a accident, it's usually a bad deal. Media was told to leave pit area.

                If restricter plates were taken off the cars would be running speeds of 230 to 235 mph. This is not the answer. This has been proven in independent test. Horespower needs to be reduced some how I agree with that. If you just took these cars and took restricter plates off tomorrow, bad things would happen.

                    Exactly......Nascar has the best engineers available.

                    If there was a simple fix, it woulda been done along time ago!

                    4m engineers.....smh!!!!!

                        The lone leader on the white flag lap is a setting duck if they catch him he will be turned, and nascar advertises this kind of chit with restrictor plate racing, with the Big one coming. Kinda of sick - wish nothing but the best for Newman !

                          Instead of pulling the grandstands out of the track, they should have left them all in. The few fans that still come should have to sit back about 20 rows up. Then they could open the cars for more speed.

                            praying for Ryan , never want to see this....horse power is fully in the hands of nascar now , due to advent of fuel injection and a little box called a ECM , so any improvements evolving HP is out of the equation , maybe its time for E-CUP cars....

                              Oh come on. They obviously did not know the seriousness of Ryan Newman's wreck at that time.

                                They have to change the track,but it wont be that big crash laden 500 no more
                                Only in racing does a person knowingly put on a dud show, and then blames everyone else for not appreciating their dud show.
