Ryan Newman walking around hospital after horrific Daytona 500 crash
Feb 19, 2020
NASCAR driver Ryan Newman, who was hospitalized after a horrific crash on Monday during the final lap of the Daytona 500, is continuing to improve after a horrific crash at the Daytona 500.
Roush Fenway Racing released a statement Wednesday morning saying Newman is showing "great improvement."
"The veteran driver is fully alert and walking around Halifax Medical Center. True to his jovial nature, he has also been joking with staff, friends and family while spending time playing with his two daughters.
