Is Newman alive?

Dude has made his career out of throwing lovely blocks, and has never showed an ounce of remorse or given a poo poo no matter what happens. The times I've met him he was an absolute cock even to his fans.

Like I'm not hoping he died, but poo poo like that is the eventual result of racing like that and not once being punished for it.

Halifax is the closest trauma ready hospital as well. Even though advent health is a big sponsor Halifax has the closest trauma center.

Y'know, any time you you follow up "I'm not hoping he's dead" with a "but", you should be aware of how hosed up your opinions are.

Holy poo poo, how did the fuel from Newman's car not light?

I don't watch a lot of races, so question for the regulars- when there's fuel pouring out of a crashed car right next to a flame, does the director always cue up the shot that's zooming IN?

Because holy poo poo, the pit in my stomach from watching that closing shot, clutching my 3 year old I brought out to watch the last two laps of some vroom vroom race cars before bed...

Read they put screens up around his car when they took him out. I bet that’s why Gordon sounded like he did, he knows it’s bad when they do that.

I feel dumb for saying something about reliving 2001, wasn’t even trying to be an idiot about that. I don’t want to see any of these guys get hurt, at any level. Racing is fun and cool.

They wouldn't have flipped the car over if he was dead, right?

It's not dumb. If it is I am dumb with you. I saw that wreck evolve and Newman not emerging... I fear the worst and apparently so are the other drivers and commentators. I like racing but do not want to see stuff like that happen at all. I was watching with my girl who was caught up in the end of race excitement. Ugh.

I know nothing about NASCAR or crash procedure. Is that standard for bad crashes or is it real, real bad?
