Wrecks in Nascar happen all the time, but this one caused the whole sport to pause.
Ryan Newman was involved in a crash on the final lap of the Daytona 500 yesterday and everyone feared the worst. Eventually, NASCAR officials announced that Newman's injuries were non-life-threatening.
"We had been waiting for information just like everyone else, so to hear some positive news tonight is a relief," said Mark Rushbrook, global director for Ford Performance Motorsports. "The entire Ford family is sending positive thoughts for his recovery, but our first thoughts remain with his family and his team."
