Wild finish at the end of 60 seconds of the Daytona 500. Ryan Newman in the lead on the last lap when this happened he tried to fight back. Ryan Blaney Blaney's car struck him from behind, the contact sending the number six car into the wall before Corey Lajoie collided with the driver's side of Newman's vehicle, sending Newman airborne before he came to a stop and came to a stop face down at the side of the track. Sparks everywhere. the car caught fire briefly before track personnel made it out. The human tug of the wrecked car loaded him into an ambulance and transported him to a nearby hospital where he remains in serious condition according to the mask, our VP Steve, all of Donnie, let's continue to work.
