Ryan Newman Car Wreck/Crash:

It was the last lap in the 62nd Daytona 500 when it happened. Ryan Newman fought for victory with his light blue and white Roush Ford with starting number 6 with aim to claim his second in the Daytona 500 after 2008.

In the final round of the 2020 race, which had been extended from 200 to 209 laps, Newman took the lead from Denny Hamlin (Gibbs-Toyota) on the back straight of Daytona International Speedway when he got the decisive push from Ryan Blaney (Penske-Ford).

At the end of the last curve, Newman was in the lead and on course for victory. But a few meters before the finish line there was a second push from Blaney which was unfortunate because, unlike the previous one, it didn’t go straight.

With his yellow Ford Mustang, Blaney caught Newman’s light blue-white Ford Mustang on the right rear corner. Newman’s Ford then turned right at full speed and hit the outer boundary of the route – a SAFER barrier.

The car overturned and slid on the roof towards the finish line. In this way – just a fraction of a second after the first impact, Newman’s car was hit hard by the subsequent Ford Mustang from Corey LaJoie (Go FAS Racing).

The second blow whipped Newman’s Roush-Ford into the air before he finally slid across the finish line on the roof. In the official end result of the race, Newman was rated P9.
