Ryan Newman went on a wild ride over the weekend. He was evaluated and released from the infield medical center after a horrifying crash during the final laps of Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Talladega Superspeedway.
The incident left Newman with a 36th-place finish in the AMP Energy 500.
Newman was close to the front of the pack and was challenging for the victory, but was got caught up in a multi-car wreck with just five laps left. His car flipped over after getting bumped from behind while traveling at over 190mph.
The roof of his vehicle had to be cut off in order to get him out of the car, but he was OK.
Ryan Newman blasted NASCAR after the spectacular wreck.
"Drivers used to be about to race each other and respect each other. Guys like Richard Petty, David Pearson and Bobby Allison -- all those guys have always done that. I guess they [NASCAR] just don't think much of us [drivers] anymore. I'm just really disappointed. We had the race back here in the spring and I complained about the cars getting airborne. Ironically, I'm the guy who gets airborne. I wish NASCAR would do something. That's not something anyone wants to see. It's probably the closest thing to being stuck in a tomb and not being able to get out -- all my body weight was pressed up against my head. ... I respect NASCAR. I just wish they respected me."
