Link? I am trying my best to keep up with Twitter but too many people praying on there right now instead of giving information.

I hope that’s true, I still worry about his head and kneck, that roof caved in.
Corey LaJoie has tweeted this message A semi-good thing I suppose is that NASCAR on FOX just tweeted video of the crash again, which could mean they have word that his situation isn’t life threatening.

There's still no real official update beyond him being taken to the hospital from what I can tell.

A reddit user at the track just sent this photo of the car afterwards, I believe they cut the side of the car off to get him out (atleast that’s what I hope)
We likely won’t have official word for a few hours as to his condition.

There's a tweet here that says he has just arrived at Halifax medical center and taken into trauma room being escorted by deputies.
Fox are replaying the race on FS2 now, but in this say and age you can't read anything into that.

The journalist doesn't know it's him. It's sensationalism at best. And if it is, trauma entrance might be the best way in given the press. The deputies are there to stop anyone intruding.Ian-S wrote: ↑4 years ago There's a tweet here that says he has just arrived at Halifax medical center and taken into trauma room being escorted by deputies.

No she doesn't but how many other people would you expect are blue lit into that hospital at that time followed by sheriffs deputies, don't hate her for doing her job, she hasn't speculated on his condition or anything, she is a local new reporter doing her job and has just reported that an ambulance arrived from the track with sherif deputies in attendance,nits about as far from sensalalist as you can get.

You’d expect this to have travelled quickly and confirmed by now.
I guess it was pure speculation

Joe Gibbs, owner of the #11 team who won has issued an apology on the celebration, stating they did not know the severity of the incident.
Here is an alternate angle taken from pit road of the crash, it is definitely similar to Geoff Bodine, except Bodine was hit in the undercarriage of the truck, while this one was in the roof.
Another photo just after the impact, I haven’t seen a NASCAR Cup car that high since Austin Dillon’s crash into the catchfence in 2015.

A indicator that was speculation is that Ryan Newman drives for Roush Fenway, not Penske (although his career did start with them).

I guess we need to forgive Hamlin in that case.
I was about to post this similar, but different angle from the pits.
Tony Kanaan echoing a lot of people's thoughts...

It was THIS behaviour from the rescue personnel which left me most concerned. That kind of standing around, having a look, then having a talk, then having another look...

It's also good to know the context of the tweet, the tweeter was asking a Roush employee if they knew anything and they did not just as a Penske employee came by and said he was awake.acerogers58 wrote: ↑4 years agoA indicator that was speculation is that Ryan Newman drives for Roush Fenway, not Penske (although his career did start with them).
