Ryan Newman taken to hospital after crash at end of Daytona 500; injuries ‘not life-threatening’



Ryan Newman's car flipped and caught fire during a crash at the finish line of the Daytona 500 on Monday as he tried to hold on to the lead. In a frightening scene, Newman was unresponsive on his radio as medics rushed onto the track. He was removed from his mangled car and stretchered into an ambulance as race personnel held up large black screens to block the crowd's view. Newman was transported to the nearby Halifax Medical Center. NASCAR in a statement announced that Newman is in serious condition but that his injuries are not expected to be life-threatening. pic.twitter.com/euuHYxPHxj — NASCAR (@NASCAR) February 18, 2020 Scary finish at #DAYTONA500 when leader Ryan Newman flipped right before the finish.

Crews are using black screens to keep fans from seeing. And media has just been told to leave the pits. #DAYTONA500 pic.twitter.com/OFFIpTWcoz — Joe Kepner (@JKepnerWFTV) February 18, 2020 pic.twitter.com/euuHYxPHxj — NASCAR (@NASCAR) February 18, 2020 The final lap of the Daytona 500 took place after several previous big crashes in the race forced stoppages. Newman, Denny Hamlin and Ryan Blaney were packed together nearing the final stretch, with Newman slightly ahead. Newman's vehicle was turned into the outside wall, and as he flipped, Corey LaJoie was unable to avoid him while going at full speed. Hamlin finished in first place and, unaware of the severity of the accident, celebrated the win in Victory Lane before issuing an apology once he learned what had occurred behind him. Hamlin says he was unaware of severity of Newman situation until Fox told him no frontstretch interview. — Jenna Fryer (@JennaFryer) February 18, 2020 #NASCAR ... Car owner Joe Gibbs apologizes in media center for team celebrating Daytona 500 win in light of Ryan Newman's crash. Gibbs said team didn't know about severity of Newman's crash until being informed about it in victory lane. — Dustin Long (@dustinlong) February 18, 2020 First a foremost I want to give well wishes and prayers to @RyanJNewman. I had absolutely NO IDEA of the severity of the crash until I got to victory lane. There’s very little communication after the finish and i had already unhooked my radio. It’s not anyone’s fault. 🙏Rocket — Denny Hamlin (@dennyhamlin) February 18, 2020 NASCAR drivers, Hamlin included, have offered their prayers and support to Newman en masse. #NASCAR ...

The Houston Texans have moved to sign Randall Cobb after their shock decision to trade DeAndre Hopkins to the Arizona Cardinals. Wide receiver Cobb has agreed a three-year, $27 million deal with Houston that contains $18.75m in guarantees, according to NFL Network. The move came after star wideout Hopkins was stunningly sent to the Cardinals in a package that saw running back David Johnson move in the other direction. TRADE GRADES: Cardinals hit home run with DeAndre Hopkins; Texans whiff on return Houston also netted a second-round draft pick this year and a fourth-rounder next year, while sending away their 2020 fourth-round selection.

Jose Bautista is attempting a comeback as a two-way player: Does former MLB outfielder have a chance?

José Bautista could be coming to a bullpen near you. People are familiar with the former outfielder of Blue Jays fame for his propensity of launching dingers a long way, his bat flip and the one time he got decked by Rougned Odor. But Bautista, now 39, is attempting a comeback — with a twist. Per ESPN's Jeff Passan, Bautista has been working out in the Dominican Republic as both a hitter and a pitcher. That's right, Bautista is attempting to make a comeback as a two-way player. I've seen video of Jose Bautista throwing a bullpen session. Couldn't tell the velocity, but one source said he can run his fastball up to 94. His slider had legitimate tilt -- threw a short one and a bigger bender. @STR0 said in January he could pitch in a big league bullpen. — Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) March 2, 2020 Per Passan, Bautista can run his fastball up to 94 mph., which is nothing to thumb your nose at, especially since he is an aging player. Bautista also boasts a slider that a...
