Denny Hamlin Talks About Ryan Newman's Daytona 500 Crash

Let's go back to that race accident that happened on the last lap. Yeah, how's Ryan and what did you know? Yeah, I didn't really know anything until we got to victory lane, to be honest, I'm in third position. Right here, so I'm pushing the yellow car, I see them start to come together and immediately yes, I make the last lunge there right at the start/finish line, but you don't know that happened and no, so I saw him pass me obviously. but you know recreations are so common at the end of these races anyway that you don't think about it and it's been so long since there have been any kind of serious injuries so we just go about our business and then start with you.

I know I was informed in victory lane that it was something serious, so obviously we're where Orion and his human family are fine, do you know anything about that? Yeah, I mean, they updated later last night saying you know what the danger to life is. And you know, I hope he makes a full recovery. Yes, we will surely be thinking about him and his family.
