British Soccer fan reacts to Nascar - All Crashes from the 2020 Daytona 500 

42 odd hours later, Ryan Newman walked out of hospital, on his own accord, holding nothing but his daughters hands. Incredible. Especially since a safety feature added to the roof of the car following one of Ryans crashes a few years back definitely made him as safe as he was!!

This message should answer *some* of your questions about NASCAR. Green Flag: Time to race! Track is open and you can pass for positions. Caution (Yellow) Flag: A wreck has occurred or slight debris is on the track, all cars are to slow down, hold position, and wait for it to be resolved. Red Flag: All cars to halt where they are as a clean-up is needed after a crash, or the weather conditions don’t allow them to race. White Flag: Final Lap! Make the most of it. (Many wrecks occur here) Black and White Checkered Flag: Race is over! First person to cross the flag wins. Notes: If a car can be repaired, and is deemed race-able without safety or speed concerns, it will be.

When they wreck, if the car is not totaled, then the teams get 6 minutes to fix the car and get it back out on the track. If they can't, then they are out of the race.

One of the main things that happens when "The caution comes out" is that drivers are not allowed to pass each other. They continue running laps at a lower pace, but the "Racing" for position is removed. In very extreme conditions or extended cleanup situations they will "Red Flag" the race and all the cars will stop until the situation is solved.

The biggest scare about the Ryan Newman crash was the fact that his car was hit by a car going 200+ MPH right into his driver side door, WHILE upside down. Back pre-2001, I don't think Newman would have survived that, but because of the leaps in how these cars are designed with safety in mind, he was able to walk out of the hospital just 48 hours later, and hopefully might be back on the track in a few weeks. It's just amazing.

“I was really busy on sunday” luka when the race was actually on a Monday because of rain 😂

When NASCAR is in season, there is usually a Cup Series race every sunday. The Truck Series usually runs on friday and the xfinity series usually runs on saturday

I'm so glad that Ryan Newman's okay. Makes you realize that even though extreme measures are taken, terrible things can still happen.

There's always a grand marshal. They give the honorary command to start engines. But this is the only time the President of the United States who has done it in person

I was there at the track, siting essentially at the spot where Newman was turned. The 3 hours after the race were some of the most nervous ones of my life. Watching as the ambulance taking Ryan to Halifax Medical Center seemed eerily reminiscent of Dale Sr. Back in 2001 when he passed away. I remember sitting in my hotel room just waiting for the NASCAR press conference to update us on Ryan’s condition. As soon as I heard non life threatening injures I breathed the loudest sigh of relief of my life. As of Feb 20th Ryan has miraculously been RELEASED from hospital and is currently at his home moving about with wife and kids. The extent of his injuries have still yet to be released to public but I think I stand for everyone when I say god bless you Ryan Newman and we hope to see you back in the car soon. We are all cheering you on. Ross Chastain was named replacement driver of the #6 car while Ryan recovers to full health but only until that point.

Thank the lord Newman is ok, also, watch in 1992, we thought Davy allison was indestructible by slapshoes or best nascar moments of the decade Btw, you have about 6 minutes to fix the car and get back on the track Sorry I forgot, Newman walked out of the hospital today

When the caution flag comes out you can’t overtake someone.

Luka, appreciate the upload pal. Every weekend there is a race and I upload all the crashes. I enjoy the reactions and love seeing knew people introduced into the sport! Hope to see you reacting to more soon!

So in nascar you have 5 minutes to repair your car if it’s still running at a decent pace but if you run out of time and you’re not going fast enough it’s easier to just pack it up

It's amazing that Newman is already out of the hospital

One thing I think you may have missed, Newman was hit on the driver’s side essentially in the window (us Americans sit on the left side of our cars) and that’s what made it even more serious. Had he been hit passenger side he may have walked away with some bruises but being hit where he sat did nothing to help the situation.

At Daytona and Talladega where the field runs in such a close pack there’s almost always a crash involving a lot of cars. They call it The Big One

Check out "How did Ryan Newman Physically Survive this Crash?" Shows how NASCAR Safety has advanced from past Deaths and why Ryan survived this one.

The fright about the Newman incident is... given the difference in speeds at that point, basically he got the nose of another car shoved into his (driver's side) window at 60-80mph. What's worse for the outside observer, there was no motion from the car at all before the safety crew arrived or during, and then even *worse*, they put up media screens... big black panels so nobody could get a view of what was going on with the scene. They turned the car over before getting him out, which is exceedingly rare and would be risky if he was injured, but there wasn't a choice given the way the car had landed and how it was deformed. The roof and side structure of the car was removed to get Newman freed up and onto a stretcher, and then there wasn't a single word other than the 'serious condition, non-life threatening' quote until he literally walks out of the hospital hand-in-hand with his daughters. So you can see why NASCAR fans and anyone else watching were just a little freaked out by that incident. The way the recovery activity went looked very much like it would had he been fatally injured, and it took quite a long time to hear otherwise.

Please watch There Will Never ever be another driver like Dale Earnhardt, it talks about Nascar great Dale Earnhardt. it's a bit long tho

React to Crashes that changed NASCAR, it shows the evolution of the safety of the cars over time.

Look at how slow the wall hit that killed Dale Earnhardt was. Looked like he should have walked away. Had he been using the HANS device he most likely would have.

Also, something to keep in mind about the handling of the cars is that the track is banked at about a 30-35 degree angle (I can't remember the exact angle at Daytona) in the turns. You have to go at least 70mph to be able to stay up on the banking.

15:40 That group prayer had nothing to do with the wreck. That was the winning driver's team. The team owner, and many of the crew are Christians and they frequently have a group prayer after races. They actually at that time didn't know how bad it was.

I'm early. Already know it will be a banger. Could you react to best March Madness Cinderella stories?

Nascar races are once a week, I recommend reacting to a highlight video each time so you can see the finishes and other important stuff because most races wont be like this one due to track differences and car packages

Oh good!! I thought of you when I saw Ryan Newmans crash Monday evening, and though about how you might react to it. Going to watch your reaction now. Happy videoing!

👍👍👍👍👍You videos lately have been stellar Luka. You're on a roll. Great job of mixing things up. Never anything boring on this channel. Keep up the good work.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The cars are built so well. I was shocked when he didn’t get out of the car. This happen every so often. The last death in this series was close to 20 years ago. Newman walked out of the hospital today.

I have been a nascar fan for 25 years it makes me glad to see new fans coming in Also you need to research nascar's greatest driver ever and my favorite driver all time Dale Earnhardt

Thanks for taking a look at this wild race

American here. Thanks for asking all the questions I'm too embarrassed to ask my self lol! Basically learning nascar here with you!

The person who says, “Gentlemen start your engines!” is called the grand marshal. Different celebrities are the grand marshals for the races of the season. Donald Trump was the grand marshal for that race that year. Only 3 presidents I think have been the grand marshal for that race once

8:09 “bro mate” 😂😂

I love your videos and your questions you're so genuine we really appreciate that not all races have this many crashes it really depends on the truck Daytona is known for crashes and Talledega but some tracks are smaller so there may not be as many crashes it was A great race I really enjoyed it but if it's all right I instantly started praying I'm glad he's going to be OK at least as good as you could be and yes I think he will race again

Loving the nascar uploads man!!

Shout out to the people that design and make the cars this safe.

Newman walked out of the Hospital

Being both an F1 and NASCAR fan, its nice to help people better understand motorsports as a whole and help other people find this sport, even if its through wrecks...

Some clarification on the crash rules: The teams usually bring 2 of the same car to the track in case their main crashes or has some catastrophic failure in practice or qualifying. They can't change it in the race. In the race, the driver is (usually) ultimately the one who decides if the car is done. The level of damage is usually what forces the decision. If a guy has the car sideswipe the outside wall, they're probably fine. As long as the engine will run, they're probably going to keep going. If they go head on or are in a situation that damages the engine or vital components of the car (or the aero to the extent that they become uncompetitive or the car becomes undrivable), they're likely to call it a race. There is one big stipulation to this. In 2017, they instituted a damage clock. If a car has damage, they have 5 minutes to service it on pit road *_and_* get it back out onto the track and make minimum speed. Once they do, the clock expires and they can work on it as much as possible. If they run out of time, they're out of the race. And as far as "caution's out," that means a full course yellow. (The tracks don't allow a partial course yellow.) They take a few laps to clean the track and let the field pit and reform before resuming. Laps run under caution count towards the race total.

This type of racing, the "plate" tracks (tracks with such high of speeds the engines are restricted with a restrictor plate or now a tapered spacer in the carburetor) creates wrecks. These high of speeds and this close together makes the cars hard to control, and when they're that close, wrecks happen super easy.

The word you're looking for to describe this sport: exhilarating

I've watched you get more and more excited in your nascar reactions, you seem hooked. Welcome to the sport! When you ask about getting back in the race after a crash, they can fix it in the pit, in the garage (called being off), or out (forfeit) NASCAR officials have to deem the vehicle safe to continue before return.

So, to your question about damage: Cars are completely free to continue racing with damage, as long as they maintain minimum speed when the race restarts. If it's a small brush into the wall, or minor hit into another car, they usually just get taped up on pit road and continue just fine. If the accident is more serious, teams have 6 minutes to try and repair the car, and can only use tape, or saw parts off the car. They can't add anything like a new nose or fender. If they can do that in the time limit (usually under caution with the field slowed down), they can continue. If they can't, they go to the garage and are out of the race. Some cars are so damaged though that they go straight to the garage. Hope that makes sense! Love the channel.

He'll be racing again maybe in a couple weeks I predict.

There is a race every Sunday for abt 36 weeks

The yellow flag the "caution" flag means that an incident happened and drivers have to slow down to avoid further crashes. Drivers also are forbidden to overtake during that period.

Ryan Newman, who was the one involved in the last wreck and flipped over is from my home state Indiana. We at first thought his injuries were severe, but miraculously walked out of the hospital 2 days later without any major injuries. The reason the crash was so brutal was he was hit in the driver's door. The metal tubing that surrounds the driver to protect him was crushed and trapped him. Whats more surprising, Ryan Newman also has an engineering degree and actually helps designs safety features for NASCAR. One of which was an extra safety bar over the driver. That extra bar is partly what credited him to surviving that wreck.

React to: “MLB Productions Presents: Game 162” And.... “David Freese Game 6 Deserves a Rewind.”

Day 27 of asking Luka to react to "MLB productions presents: Game 162"

The Newman crash was the worst I have ever seen I was in shock. The situation was generally ironically similar to Dale Sr. I couldn’t watch the replay and was screaming at my tv for the people to get him out. And then the time afterwards where there was nothing to get the thoughts of what could have possibly happened out of my head. I was so relieved once the news came that he didn’t have life threatening injuries and now of course it is amazing that he has been released from the hospital.

This will be one of the most talked about daytona 500s ever. This amount of crashes was insane. Many more than normal. It's just the nature of the way this type of racing causes on huge tracks

It's a pure miracle that Newman was able to walk out of the hospital okay after that. Slams into the wall and then gets hit on the driver's side by a car going 200 MPH while he's upside down.

Just a few explanations: -Drivers cannot change cars, and even very small hits are usually enough to take someone out of the race, so if there was anything other than a bump, you can assume that the car is done. -They do count the laps under caution while everyone drives slow and the wreck gets cleaned up, but if a race would normally finish under caution, they do an “overtime” where they do two laps at full speed to have an exciting finish. (Overtime can be redone if there’s another wreck early enough) -This race was very abnormal for having so many big crashes due to Daytona being a “superspeedway” track, where the race is really fast and everyone is close since they can stay at full throttle all the time. This also makes these races more dangerous. Most races have a fraction of the chaos as this one. -Within the season (which started with this race), races are usually every week (Saturday night or Sunday, unless there’s a delay), with very rare off-weeks. They’re trying something new this year at the Pocono track where, just once, they’ll have two races in one week (Saturday and Sunday). Thanks for the vid, hope this helps!

How baller is it that Newman still came in 4th, glad he's alright but the fact he finished just makes the whole thing pretty awesome.

It's amazing the engineering that's gone into those cars that he could survive that after being hit at nearly 200mph on the driver's side upside down.

13:28 "Caution is out" means they turn on the yellow light, wave the yellow flag, which means the drivers all have to slow down. The pace car comes onto the track and they all have to stay behind it. Usually it's because of a crash, but if debris is on the track, say because a fan threw something down from their seat, or a piece falls off a car, will also cause a caution. They still count the laps towards the total, but a race can't end on a caution. They'll race extra laps at the end if they have to, which did happen in this race.

Here's a fun fact: About 10 years ago Ryan Newman has an engineering degree and advocated adding an additional bar to the rollcage. NASCAR adopted it and named it the "Newman Bar." Fast forward to 2020 and the "Newman Bar" was likely the reason he survived.

Not sure if it was on purpose or not, but thanks for waiting til Newman's condition was known to post this!

The next NASCAR race is the Pennzoil 400 at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Sunday, February 23, 2020 3:30 PM ET. There are also practices and qualifying along with the Xfinity series and Gander series so there is probably something you can watch.

Been around Nascar my whole life, my dad worked in it for 20+ years... here’s a few things I c an share with you. 1) These cars are incredibly safe now. After wrecks like these, NASCAR will take the wreckage of a car back to their research and development center and look at video, etc and study the wreck and look to see how they can improve the safety. Newman actually has a pretty bad wreck a few years back at Daytona, and Nascar added what is now called the “Newman Bar” to the car... to help stabilize and reinforce the roll cage to make it stronger in wrecks like this. No doubt that it played a roll in keeping him alive here. It was very scary initially because he never got out of the car under his own power.... they brought in the black screens and cleared all media from pit lane.... it’s never good when that happens. 2) By enlarge Nascar races aren’t wreck feats. Daytona and Talladega are when you see most of these big wrecks, because they run a restrictor plate to reduce the speed/horsepower , which causes the cars to be in these big packs, which tend to lead to the big wrecks. 3) Newman almost certainly will race again, he won’t this week, for obvious reasons. They haven’t said when he could be back, but I’m sure he will be back.

Nascar races are weekly there are lower truck series races which are less frequent and usually take place on Friday nights, then there is the middle tier xfinity series which is usually weekly and usually are on Saturdays, and then there is the top Cup series which happen usually on Sunday afternoon. All of the series have a race in Las Vegas this weekend

NASCAR cup series races are almost every Sunday from February to November. The smaller series xfinity and trucks race on Friday (trucks) and Saturday (xfinity) almost every Sunday as well. Best bet would be to find a schedule and download or print it.

So glad Newman is fine. When the crash happened live, I was shocked. I’ve never seen a worse NASCAR crash in my life

The important thing to remember is these crashes happen not just because of the speed, but also all of the cars are set up at the edge of handling. You can make the cars more stable and planted for handling, but that drastically affects the speed, which on a track like Daytona is everything. So what looks like a small bump actually upsets the balance of the car just enough to start them spinning.

At Daytona, the cars are really sensitive to Aero damage so when the body gets damaged to slows your top speed and hurts your engine cooling but when a car is damaged they have 5 minutes to fix the car in pits if not they have to go to the garage to repair and can come back out whenever they are mechanically sound ie. the body panels arent flapping

To answer the question about using multiple cars in the middle of a race it depends. In these races there are 3 events practice, qualifying, and the actual race. If they wreck a car during practice or qualifying they can switch to a backup car but must start at the back of the pack during the race. If they wreck during the race they can try and repair the damage as far as body panels but if it is mechanical they can try and repair it in the garage but it's usually over for them if they go to the garage.

Most often the drivers suffer only minor injury in even the worst crashes. 99% of the time the race crashes cause no driver injuries at all. The American NASCAR racing series ist extremely safe, not only for the drivers, but also for the fan's safety. Extremely fun to watch. Rubbin' ist Racin'... :-)

Love to see you react to rallying. It is essentially a motorsport where a driver and a navigator race through forests and on snow. Search “WRC maximum attack” or “WRC rally Finland” and if you want crashes just search “Rally crashes” it is an amazing motorsport and I honestly love and I think you would too😁

Really like your reaction and commentary response to the 2020 Daytona 500! I will try and find a horrible 2001 NASCAR truck series crash that was very scary! Has to deal with one of the bodine brothers!

NASCAR races are basically weekly from last weekend until November (this year they have a midyear break during the Summer Olympics though which is new)

NASCAR at the top levels are the most frequent motorsports series in the entire world. The Cup Series (those racing in the videos you've been watching) contest 36 different points paying events each year. The Xfinity Series contests 33 and Trucks 23 with drivers often competing in up to all three in a single weekend. Typically in the past it's from mid February to mid/late November but recent much needed changes are seeing the schedule shortened bit by bit.

When I saw it live I immediately saw him flip and knew it wasn’t good, when I saw his car land back on his roof and skid to a stop I was really worried, I was really hoping that he was still alive. The next 2 and a half hours after that were awful waiting and wondering to hear if he was alive or not. Was extremely relieved to hear he was alive and now even more happy to hear he’s been released from the hospital. #NewmanStrong!

This might not have been as obvious to you but what made Newman's wreck extra dangerous was that the hit he hook when he was upside down in the air was right into the driver's door. It's a testament to how strong they build these safety cells that he survived and didn't have any debilitating injuries for sure.

On the superspeedways, aero and grip is everything. You get even the slightest bit loose at top speed and it has the possibility of things going bad very quickly.

Nascar races 36 races a year, they race almost weekly, from mid February to mid November. It's a mix between 4 super speedway races, several speedway races (tracks 1.5 miles in length, for context Daytona is 2.5 miles in length) a few small short tracks, and 3 road course.

When the caution comes out the field slows down and gets behind a safety vehicle known as the pace car, they usually do like 3 laps under caution unless they need to clean up a wreck, also the laps do count

Starting with the 2018 NASCAR season. When a car is damaged, but still raceable. They go into the pits and they are put on a 5 minute repair clock. They have 5 minutes to make as many repairs as they can to get the car back out, but then the car has to maintain a minimum speed which is determined per track. If either of those two things are not met, then the driver is disqualified.

If you wanna watch a race, they've been streaming them on RU-vid, so just watch the replay afterwards

1. They can repair the cars and return it to the race. Up until a couple years ago, you had as long as you needed, but now you have five minutes to complete repairs. 2. When a caution (yellow) flag comes out, it is like a safety car in Formula 1. Up until about 2004, you would race back to the flag (i.e. the caution would take effect when the leader crossed the start-finish line), but now the caution takes effect immediately (i.e. the field is frozen) and passing is not allowed. The car closest to the lead lap, called the "lucky dog", is allowed to get one lap back. Also, if the leader pits, any car between the leader and the pace car at the end of the caution period can pass the pace car and get one lap back as well. 3. There is usually a race every week on Sunday. Sometimes, they race on Saturday nights. They are usually off Easter weekend and once again in July. 4. Ryan Newman is expected to race again, although not right away. 5. This is the first time the President started a NASCAR race since 2004. NASCAR fans are generally very conservative politically, and strongly support Republicans.

The fact he survived is truly incredible. T And usually there are not as many crashes in a race.. at this track and only 1 other they have something on their car so they can only race really close to each other. Ans then when someone crashes usually everyone gets in it. But at most tracks the cars are farther spread out and crashed have like 1 or 2 cars maybe. And yes NASCAR races happen once a week during the season

There actually a bar that was added inside the car a few years ago called the Newman Bar and yes, it was named after him when he an another driver got into similar wrecks. If it wasn’t for that bar, who knows how he’d be holding up right now...

This is the biggest race of the year but if you ever want to watch one they are all pretty similar... they are on every Sunday. The two that are a little different are the two road track races, which means the course is windy rather than just an oval. Those races are on June 14 and August 16

The Ryan Newman crash was the most violent horrible crash I had ever seen watching nascar, and I've been watching most of my life. I felt sick and was tearing up most of the night until Nascar released his condition. So glad hes ok.

With a caution, the race basically goes on "pause" in that the field is frozen in the position they're at when the caution comes out, but race laps continue to count down while the pace car leads the cars around the track at reduced speed. Since too many races would end under caution and the fans weren't enthused about that, NASCAR added "overtime," where you get a two-lap stint to end the race that can go past the initial lap tally. If the first one has a caution, they'll do another. This can be tricky if a team didn't fuel a car up with enough extra for those potential further laps. The Newman crash wasn't just bad because of how high the car flipped, but the circumstance that led to it. It might not be the best angle in the video you saw, but the other car hit his right about where he's sitting and caved in the car around him. It says a lot about how well the safety mechanisms in the car are done these days that he not only survived but is already out of the hospital. Given he was walking and without casts, there's a good chance he'll be racing again, possibly later this year. It takes a lot to keep a driver from being able to come back, i.e. Robert Kubica took part of a railing (IIRC) through his arm in a rally accident, but managed to race Formula 1 again a few years later (granted, he didn't perform the best, but his arm wasn't exactly back to shape). To really drive home how much a driver can take and get back into racing, look up Alex Zanardi. There was an accident in a race where a car took off the front of his car and part of both of his legs in the process, along with a LOT of blood loss. They had to do further amputation of his legs, but he survived, and later would go on to race again in a different series. (Only maybe just look up the story, not images or video. It's a BRUTAL crash.) Another one would be Geoff Bodine, who had an accident in the Craftsman Truck Series where his truck was just shredded apart and the roll cage (about all that was left) even got hit a couple more times. He had a number of injuries, but only missed ten races and returned later that year, and finished 3rd in the Daytona 500 the following year. He didn't do much after that, but he was already past 50 years old, so the fact that in his early 50s he took that kind of wreck and came back at all is pretty impressive.

6:19 you can only get a new car when you wreck in something separate from the actual race such as qualifying or practice. In his case his car was just barely able to be repaired so he was able to be continued, there is a thing called a damaged vehicle policy that basically limits the time you have to repair it, but once there is too much damage on a car then they can’t continue and must go to the garage.

To answer just a few of your questions: 1) Caution/yellow flag laps do count toward the race total. As others have mentioned, they are used to slow the field and clean the track. Drivers cannot overtake each other on the track, but positions can change during pit stops depending on how fast drivers leave the pits (without going over the speed limit). At the end of the race, however, NASCAR tries to provide a green-flag finish by using an Overtime rule, extending the race as many laps as they need to if the leading car doesn't take the white flag to signify the last lap. 2) After a win by one of his teams, Joe Gibbs always leads that team in a prayer. That night, no one at Joe Gibbs Racing knew the severity of the crash before entering victory lane and Joe Gibbs himself apologized for the celebrations that took place. 3) Ryan Newman will not race this weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, but considering that he walked out of the hospital, I would not be surprised if he's back next week at Auto Club Speedway in California. He's one tough guy! 4) The sheer number of wrecks and the number of cars in one wreck (known as "The Big One") are only typical for races at Daytona International Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway. Because of the extreme speeds that these cars can get up to at these two tracks, NASCAR restricts the engines, resulting in the pack-style racing you saw.

Regarding vehicles that are involved in wrecks, Nascar has a rule that says you get 6 minutes on pit road to try and repair the car and get it back out on the track. If you cant get it back on the track and hit a certain minimum speed then you are out of the race. You'll often see pit crews cutting broken chunks off of cars and patching dents and corners frantically trying to get back into the race.

Usually a cup race is every weekend up until middle of November with a couple off weeks. This was race 1 of 36. I'd recommend watching the NASCAR on Fox Highlights they post every week since it wouldn't all just be crashes and would give you a better sense how a race flows.

From the time Newman's car came to a complete stop. It took 17 minutes they had the car flipped right side up , him out of the car and on the way to the hospital. Those guys were amazing

Now that you are doing more racing videos, I suggest you get exposed to some IndyCar as well. Specifically the Indy 500 which is known as the greatest spectacle in racing. It is the largest single day sporting event in the world with 300,000-400,000 spectators each year. A good video to start would be “Top 10 closest Indy 500 finishes”. Love the content!

Stenhouse just loves to ruin people’s day Edit: Also the. 77 got a run, the 37 Tried to block and he lost control and crashed

Here's an idea, next one you do, bring on a NASCAR fan who can answer your questions while you watch. Easy to do with a discord call. I'd be happy to do it, I've been watching NASCAR for about 20 years.

looking sharp bruh

Serious crashes after 2001, 2013 Hamlin breaks his back, 2015 Dillon goes into the catch fence at Daytona, 2017 Alimarioa breaks his back, and since then, there hasn't been a horrible wreck since 2001. This is why people are worried about Newman and we all are glad to hear he's ok.

A lot of people outside of America usually don't realize just how big and popular NASCAR is. Also, these cars are so far on the edge of control, if u could be in the passenger side of another race car at 200 mph, u could reach out, and use your index finger to and spin that race car out. Also, as long as the cars are going straight, the cars create a lot of downforce. But once the car so spins out, at those speeds the car wanted to lift off the ground like a feather. During the race, depending on bad the car is damaged, they call go into the ours and try to fix the car. They have 5 min to fix the car on pit road, but when they return to the race, they have to be able to run a minimum speed or lap time. Obviously after the race, the team takes the car back their race shop and repair the racecar. Replacing anything that needs replacing these teams always have 8 to 12 cars ready to go to the track at any time.

It’s the very first race of the season which is always at Daytona which was actually delayed to Monday due to the rain.

On NASCAR's RU-vid channel, they had a live stream of the cameras on the cars. They also had the helmet cam. It was on Jimmie Johnson's car

Also you have to realize that in the Newman crash is that the other car hit him on there roof just above him and he lucky he didn’t die on impact

Ryan Newman was released from the hospital during the middle of the week. There was video of him walking to the parking lot holding the hands of his two small daughters. Probably all of your questions have already been addressed but here goes... Daytona is one of two 2.5 mile tracks which makes it possible for the cars to go at higher speeds than other smaller tracks. Over the years NASCAR has tried engine and aerodynamics rules to try to slow the cars down but that has usually bunched up the cars which has resulted in more wrecks. "Cautions" result when there is any type of wreck or when a piece of debris gets on the track. It's for safety reasons because it slows the cars down so the track can be cleaned up, injured drivers can be safely removed. Cautions also allow for pit stops to be made under less stressful conditions but the drivers can gain or lose positions as a result of the pit stop time. Otherwise, no passing can be done out on the track during Cautions
