iFL hasn't updated with final results, but not really important right now. Final number should be tomorrow or Wednesday.

Waiting to hear something good about Ryan Newman.

Said he is on the way to the hospital but did not say if he was awake or not...

Fingers crossed that he is okay.

They put up screens and shooed media out of the pits. Took a long time to get him out of the car. Nothing sounds good.

I hope he was helped from the car and not taken out. It's best to wait for news. I'm sure Twitter is filled with speculation.

That screen was brought down after he was on a stretcher...

The screens were to shield from media and fans taking pics. Gibbs apologized for the #11 team celebrating, saying they didn't know how bad it was. Kind of like in 2001 when Mikey won his first Cup race and was driving for DEI. He didn't know.

Nascar issued a statement saying Ryan Newman is in serious condition, but his injuries are not life threatening.

That's good to know.

He's 42. Time to retire. He came within an inch of losing his life.... Not worth testing fate again. His wife will have something to say about it providing he recovers fully to even think about racing again...

He announced last week that he and his wife are amicably splitting after like 18 years. Maybe they already had that talk.

I'm just glad he is going to be able to walk the earth again. I was pretty worried for the night.
