I would say that’s the most valuable car in his collection. Seems like it brought him and his family closer together as well as maybe some friends.

That’s why we call him the rocketman. Always learning. Always educating. A true hero to racers everywhere

We need a documentary

For those of us that were there that night and are fans of the sport, there was no greater relief than seeing that he was okay

He was truly an ambassador of the sport , From Penske thru Roush always '6 cars wide ' to pass. Thank You Ryan , for all you've done and T. G. You're on the next leg(s) of ur journey.

I remember watching that entire final lap as it happened. When I looked back and saw Newman flipping over like that as they came to the line, I thought he was dead. I thought there was no way he was going to get out of that car alive, especially after I saw the replays of the crash. I was never really a fan of Newman, but that crash brought a whole new perspective of him to me.

I remember being in shock after this happened, I didn’t care who won the race, I was concerned for Ryan in this instance.

Life long fan of Ryan , I remember cheering like crazy after turn 4 and in one moment hugging my wife in horrifying disbelief ? How he survived is truly a God given miracle !

I will never forget watching this Daytona 500 with my dad, we really thought Ryan was not coming out of the car alive, as negative it is to say and shouldn't se said. But extremely happy he was okay and grateful to still see him race!

Ryan is a class act on and off the field.

I was there in person. Filming the last lap. Up to the fact I literally ducked for my life out of Fear seeing a shadow of something coming forwards me outta the corner of my eye. Literally stopped the filming at that moment and ran to check and make sure others were okay and not injured then my attention turned to Ryan. And it looks really really bad. I was pretty damn shook up and crying literally. And started screaming at others to put the phones down and stop filming. Cause that man could very well be gone right now. And to my surprise all the folks around me that heard me scream that did exactly that. Put the phones down. I watched my child hood hero die in Dale Sr. And did not want to see another life taken away at my most favorite of all places to go. I’ll always go to Daytona. It’s got a special place in my heart. For the best and worst of memories. Ryan Newman. Love you man. And so proud of you. And your amazing career. Remember when there was a time when I’d be so mad at you winning pole after pole ! 😂 P.S I have never shared nor shown that video to anyone including my wife. And she was there right next to me. And it won’t ever be shown. Matter of fact . As God is my witness I’ve never even watched it myself. And it will likely stay that way forever. Ryan don’t Remember. And I want to Forget the memory.

The Nascar family and fans thought we lost Ryan that night . Nice to see Ryan is doing good . I miss Ryan every Nascar race . it just doesn't seem the same ....

Never been much a Newman fan though I never questioned his qualities as a driver and human SO, like so many others, my heart stopped watching this wreck and it also went out to him, his family and his many fans who were shaken, scared and prayed for his recovery. Good to see him and his peers back behind the wheel again.

We can thank him for the “Newman Bar” saving racers weekly

Watching the crash i honestly thought he was dead if not at least more seriously hurt than he was. The fact that he survived was a miracle.

Ryan, you were never my top driver, but always a class act. My heart dropped in this wreak. I truly thought no way are you alive. It was wonderful seeing the photo of you walking out of the hospital with your daughters. Great video. Thanks for sharing. Life is short no matter how…..STUD!

From early on I liked Newman initially because of his engineering degree and his tell it like it is disposition. But he's a hardcore racer and that crash gave me chills. Good to see him with his girls/family and good to see him in doing well in SRX and still harder to pass than a kidney stone. 😂👍🏁👍🇺🇸

I’ve never heard of a “bruised brain” before like that’s some wild stuff that he survived

Can't wait till he is on the Dale Jr Download

Probably the BEST THING on KZfaq at the moment!!! Ryan… glad to see you back at it.

Don't feel bad, I can't remember a few races either that I've been to 👍

I've been a Ryan Newman fan for a long time, and watching this video reinforces why I am. Way to keep your priorities in check. Hope to see you race at Grandview someday.

Everyone became a Ryan Newman fan that night. God is good

Can we please see the car more. That is so fascinating. I love seeing the technical info on the cars and how they failed.

Great to see you out there Ryan Newman!!! 👍

Jesus look at the car, thank god he got out of all that alive, bless him and family

Rayn is one of them "Good guys"..110%. He is a very hard nosed racer..who make everyone earn each spot around him. Glad that angel was holding him tightly that night. Best of luck. Stay safe and be well.

Great video, God blessed you, big time👍 I like that blue 53/54 Plymouth in the background 😁

That crash was horrendous. Soooo very glad Ryan made it through.

God definitely had his hand on Newman that day!

Man Ryan Newman's a legend

It is amazing Dale Sr wreck looked minor compared to newman's wild ride . You just never know what's in the card

I may never have purchased a Ryan Newman tee shirt but he always had my respect. It's a shame he was forced to leave the Cup Series, we need the experience out there.

So glad you are in good health after that crash. Also,that you realize your life goes on. God bless you and your family.

Thankful to see this.

We are glad you are here also Ryan

Can’t wait to see you next weekend at Stratford!

👍👍💯my fav driver. Since 2001

So glad God gave Ryan a second chance. God bless

When I saw the race I was shocked but I am very grateful that he survived that

That was a long night after that happened. He said it perfectly. The big man wasn't ready to take him yet.

This was my first nascar race. When the race ended no one cheered, no one left, few said anything at all. Most of the crowd stayed until the ambulance left.

Honestly I feel like the reason why he stopped performing well after that wreck was because he just didn't care anymore and he just wanted finish off his contract. Glad he survived that wreck I freaked out when I saw it live.

Ryan by the grace of God survived this and watch his babies grow up.

Keep on Rockin Sir Ryan!!

Hard to believe that this was almost 4 years ago 🫡

i was at this race and it was absolutely terrifying. i’m glad he’s okay and healthy now

What a great man! Those lunches for his family are far more important than racing. Trust me on this.

God was shining down on him that day 🙏

Always enjoyed the rocket man, Tremendous Racer👍👍👍🚀🚀🚀

I thought his 2003 Daytona flip was bad. But this one definitely beat that. Still glad Ryan is with us today!

Great video. Thank god he is ok.

Always a fan of Ryan great driver.

Scariest crash I’ve ever seen live I thought the car was gonna catch fire

God bless you Ryan and your family. We miss watching you race.

We need a Ryan Newman 2020 Daytona crash documentary

Hmm! OK yes that's right always good whenever a driver can walk away from a major wreck of this nature! #blessings 🙏

Newman was one of my favorites for a very long time. I thought I had truly watched someone die that day he got hit by LaJoie. Terrifying, and I'm still so happy he walked away.

Your awesome Ryan

Good man Newman

Sr and god was looking out for him that day

Thank God was looking over you

as a fan im glad ryan was ok.but more importantly for his wife & daughters.they deserve to have their husband & dad for years to come.

I will never forget that wreck. I was praying so much that he wasn't seriously hurt. Not only do they study NASCAR crashes to make their cars safer, but it makes the cars we drive safer. God bless you Ryan!

Truly special.

I'm just glad the sport learned from that dark moment and helped save others. Honestly surprised me when they didn't start beefing up cars after Brad's flip and landed on drivers side crushing roof in.....

Good Lord looking over Ryan. Rocket Ryan

A real class guy!

Future first ballot hall of famer no doubt

I remember watching this race and thought he was a goner. So glad he is ok after this violent wreck👍🏻

My league was scheduled to run our race immediately after the 500 finished. We wound up delaying til the next day to make sure he was alright. I thought we just watched this man die

I wanna see you racing Nascar again if you want it, we want you...Moses

It was so shocking when his car was hit and went airborne. Two years later it still shocks me to see the pictures. So glad, that RN walked out of the hospital on his own feets. Best of luck!

You still ROCK

So so grateful that guy is ok! I was so scared for him when that horrible wreck happened!!I look at that wreck and I THINK ITS ABSOLUTELY A MIRACLE RYAN NEWMAN CAME OUT OF THAT HORRIBLE WRECK NOTHING MORE THEN A MIRACLE!

I noticed the socks after he said something

How would you do that that was my favorite Ca🚗

I was there got it on my phone video. It was wild and crazy.

I remember watching from the stands saying he's going ain't no way he survived

i thought he was gone for sure... one of the nastiest crashes ive ever seen...

I was scared that I saw a nother drive die never been so glad I didn't God was with you that night

Do you still race

The only time I remember watching a race and really kinda feeling in a way I couldn’t explain after it. Kinda just blah and in shock.

Ryan needs one more year in cup as a retirement celebration

Holy hell wow glad it didnt get junked!

Hmmm I guess I should have watched the first srx race this year.

In my opinion that car should have had confetti on it

Imagine driving to Walmart with Ryan Newmen

Lionel should make a diecast of that car

Rocket 🚀 man O2 Alltell Ford

Hey man you may not be one off the greatest wining drivers or a dale Earnhardt. But you win go down in history as one of the best drivers and you take family first. Take care of them girls bro.

I thought I had watched someone die that night. The motorsports world def let out a sigh of relief when they said he was ok.

He likes Coca-Cola alot over beer, but he used to drink Pepsi and Gatorade

I said to my wife "Oh my god, He's dead" .

This race ended Newman's career and possibly their life if doesn't have safety measures, sad 😢

Bless you, Ryan "Rocketman" Newman. Bless you and your family. That crash was horrific. Watched the entire race, and when that accident happened, all i could think about was Austin Dillion's wreck at Daytona, and just held my breath and prayed. Hello, Newman, you tough son of a loving mother 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️

I just have to say hallelujah praise GOD!!! Turn to him and have all amen!!! GOD bless you!!!

Ryan newman are you ok I saw the crash on KZfaq

I was there. Got a video on my page

I was there when it happened
