I was so glad to see Ryan will be ok. They said last night he was in serious condition but his injuries are not life threatening! Praise GodππΌπ

That truly is great to hear. No matter how much we may dislike any given driver, we never wish harm on their physical being. Sure, we hope they blow an engine, have a flat, hit the wall, but we never hope they get hurt.

So far I haven't been able to find anything about Ryan's injuries. What scares me is that, from my experiences, when doctors say "non-life-threatening, but serious condition", sometimes they are talking about head/neck/spinal damage. Observers said that the roll cage designed to protect the head was "caved". Prayers going up for him and his caregivers.

I saw that video this evening!!...So thrilled to see him OK. Looked like he was not wearing shoes. And maybe had a bit of a limp on his right leg. But he's OK, thank You God!!

Amazing that he was able to walk out of the hospital 48 hours after that horrific crash! Speaks volumes to the safety NASCAR has put in these cars. Ironic that one of the features that kept himself and LaJoie from being more seriously hurt was the Newman Bar.

I believe that the "Newman bar" came after the race where Carl Edwards flew up into the fencing and landed on top of Ryan. When we toured the race shop for one of Newmans fan club gatherings, Ryan showed us the car and told us they were doing studies on it. That was in 2009.
