Newman would be the first to admit that he blocked Blaney and that Blaney was fully in his rights to keep his foot in it. Newman would have done the same. Its about seeking victory, not about considering the consequences. Usually they bump them to get em loose & then go around ... he wrecked him IMO. But it was last lap, so no time for much. 10 hours ago, AKIQPilot said: Wow. This is great news. It looked so bad. X2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it was last lap, so no time for much. X2 It’s a combination of the track, the aero packages and HP and that’s why none of the drivers are pointing fingers...Newman had to block if he wanted to win and Blaney had to try and get around him. Look at the wrecks earlier in the race where guys were pushing and hit the rear bumper a little off center...spins in the middle of big packs of cars and half the field is junked. BTW this isn’t a short track where you give ‘em the chrome horn...the old bump and run. At 200 mph you saw the results. Newman has always been known as a hard charger and also as a driver that is extremely hard to pass...curious to here what he has to say but guessing he won’t lay any blame.

ckf Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Yup.....Newman is known as the toughest guy to pass in Cup. He is there to win, or get the best result possible for his team and sponsors. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sound like the people that think Sterling Marlin intentionally wrecked Dale Sr. 2 hours ago, ckf said: Tuesday afternoon update from Roush Fenway Racing: Ryan Newman remains under the car of doctors at Halifax Medical Center in Daytona Beach, Florida.

If it was a severe traumatic brain injury he'd still be in a medically induced coma for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats just stupid IMO. I could be and it's not a pleasant inquiry If he's got some serious injuries I'm wrong obviously. If he walks out in a day or two I'm not. There has been many horrific wrecks over the years, some long before safe cars,walls, hans etc and if someone isn't gravely injured you'd know what happened to them by now.
