Steve O'Donnell of NASCAR read a statement that Newman is in serious condition, but his injuries are non-life-threatening.

That crash was brutal. I’m so glad he’s okay as he can be right now. Here’s to a full recovery.

The next concern for Newman would be any possible neck or spinal injuries. That was a f***ing vile hit he took there from Lajoie (which by no means is his fault).

As usual in cases like this, people are rushing to place blame and its a shame. This is truly one of those racing deals. It can't be said enough how far the sport has come in safety. I really think that if they hit exactly the same way 10-15 years ago, Newman is dead, and possibly LaJoie as well.

Newman is awake and talking with friends and family scouting to NBC Sports.

I would not be surprised if he never steps into a car again.

Probably not 10 years ago, but I would say 15-20 years ago, Newman would be dead from that crash.

Latest update on Ryan Newman is that his condition has greatly improved, to the point that he has been able to walk around the hospital, which seems to indicate no major spinal injuries at least.

Yep Rousch Racing shared a picture and he looks good. Stated he was able to talk and walk with his daughters

That's a good sight to see. Hopefully, he's just a little bruised and nothing serious. And hopefully, he takes a little time off to get fully healed.

So what’s the thought on Mercedes new steering wheel? Has the ability of changing the cars alignment by pulling or pushing on the steering column.

NASCAR is at Vegas today. Who's everyone got picking up the win? For me, I have either Logano or my boy K-Harv.

I don't really see it helping much with lap times itself (not that they need it anyway), but if it helps keep the tyres better for longer that's an obvious bonus even if it's only giving a bit of wiggle room for pit stop timing. It's only going to be around for this season anyway due to the rule changes for next year.
