Today happens to be the anniversary of the death of Dale Earnhardt. His death resulted in some safety rules and equipment being put in place. Ryan Newman is likely alive today because of those rules and equipment.
I guessing here, but I suspect Newman has multiple fractures on his left side, arm/wrist, leg, maybe ribs.
Not a fan of NASCAR, but Newman is a fellow Boilermaker and raced in our Grand Prix, he is the only one I root for because of this.
That said my fear at this point is some limb was so badly damaged that he might lose a limb....I hope I am wrong, but atleast he is alive to be there for his wife and kids. Scary accident for sure.
