Most of us pine for the days when NASCAR actually ran stock cars, but there's no doubt modern safety equipment saved Newman's life.

Hard to blame Bobby Isaac for hearing the voices.

I sure would like to know the source of the information you have provided. Unconfirmed speculation is never a good thing and worse of all, it is a boarderline invasion of Ryan and his family's privacy.

At this point, any info on Ryan's condition will probably come from his race team, and will probably be broadcast from NASCAR. I'm pretty sure today was spent with the family and the Doctors discussing his condition diagnosis and reviewing options. If Ryan is participating in these conversations, that is indeed good news, but really, it really isn't my business.

I would much prefer to give Ryan and his family some privacy at this point. I'm sure they have important desissions they need to make. When they are ready, I'm sure they will share what they feel is important for us to know. Gene


It was all over the news, TV, web even ESPN. Just trying to report something positive.

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

Just saw a message from Roush-Fenway saying he was fully up & walking around, joking with hospital staff, and playing with his daughters.
That's such a relief.
That is one tough guy.

Watch the actual footage, and you will see exactly what I said,the back end of the 12 car was all over the place after Hamlin punted him,you can see the bumper of Hamlins car compress,and the hood bulge up after that hit the 12 car got loose and stayed loose until he contacted the 6 car. There is no locking bumpers with flat facia's,never happened. The incident happened at 200 mph,in a split second, I doubt Blaney even really knows what really happened!

Glad to hear Ryan is ok! I have a Charger Daytona stock car clone that has a Nascar chassis under it,and after seeing that crash, I am going to feel pretty safe driving it hard!

All the current safety equipment could today fit inside a stock outer sheet metal car, and it would be a lot less aero, and also negate the need for any restrictors.

Someone other then the fans and viewers must have a dog in this fight, because it makes the most sense IMO. .

I completely agree. Id even go one step further and say I'd like to see them run production based engines. No restrictions needed as you'd be restricted by general designs and capabilities. You see a common theme in Motorsports...the equipment becomes so refined you fall too far to the side of the bellcurve. Dragracing is no different to me.

Amazing to see Newman walk out of the hospital today, lucky indeed.

Take a look at european sedan racing. Can't think of the series name and it's mostly Audis and Mercs on road courses but pretty sure it's production bodies with roll cages. Australian Supercars is another one and those things are crazy fast. World Rally cars are also stock bodied based, crazy fast and no safe walls - just big trees and rocks. Nascar took a left in to tube chassis in the 80s and it's been downhill from there. Can't imagine it changing anytime soon.

I'm sorry but I don't understand how he went from "very serious but non life threatening injuries" to walking out of the hospital in two days? confused

You ever heard the term "shell shocked"? There is a good chance he might not of known which way was up for a bit. Look at the hits he took, that would rattle anyones brain. Probably kept him the couple days to be sure his brain was ok. Im sure there will be alot of aftercare MRI-s.

I`m not going question why or how. I`m just glad he is doing better.
