What the hell happened?

Daly on old tires snapped up and got Newgarden.

What the hell happened?

Daly snapped loose into Newgarden, both hit wall, Josef's car then slid on it's side as the roll bar dug into the barrier on the second impact.

Daly got loose off Turn 4 and hooked right into Newgarden. Newgarden's car turned sideways and went right into the SAFER barrier with his head exposed.

Was he able to get out of the car or does he appear seriously hurt? (I'm away from home and can't see what's going on)

He got out, but fell to the ground secs later and had to be carried to the ambulance

TV crew said he did climb out on his own. He also waved to the crowed as he was loaded into the ambulance.

 

[IforceV8]

It looked like he was complaining about a injury to his right shoulder.

 

[catamount39]

He got out, started to walk away then just about collapsed and had to be sat down whilst they took his helmet off (conscious thankfully). He kept pointing to his head and shoulder. Holmatro got him on a stretcher and put him into an ambulance. He should be alright I hope, he did give the crowd a thumbs up as he was lifted in.

Hopefully he's alright, but an injuries would sadly not be surprising after the hits he took there.

Judging by how Newgarden was holding his shoulder and head, it looks like a broken collarbone to my eye. It can hurt like a 🤬 too, which could explain why he collapsed after gingerly getting out of the car.

Also, nothing but respect from the safety crew for fixing everything up and getting to Daly & Josef ASAP.

Yes another amazingly quick reaction by Holmatro, they hauled 🤬 out of the infield and got there in no time at all. ._.7

Edit: Newgarden is being taken to a local hospital to get his shoulder and wrist checked out, otherwise he is okay. Main reason he is heading to the hospital is because that the hospital belongs to the speedway's medical director (or something like that). Amazing news after that accident.

 

[BKGlover]

Holmatro being on top of everything was something I noticed last night. They were all over the track, it looked like they were evaluating the entire circuit at all times.

RADAR EDIT: First, I live in the lower left quarter of that radar picture... Hi... Second, the cells out our way are a small concern, the cell building to the south is the immediate "**** you nature" ordeal.

 

[IforceV8]

and rain...

 

[catamount39]

Bad news...IT'S ****ING RAINING AGAIN.

That's what you have to do when it comes to "Weepers" on an oval.

EDIT: And now it's raining. Great.

 

[IforceV8]

Storm cell with hail just south of the track heading north.

Mother nature being very ****** this weekend.

 

[IforceV8]

Cant race and cant leave the track.

[mustafur]

Welcome to the kingdom of Gossage, your Passports are now taken.

 

[Northstar]

Cant race and cant leave the track.

No Limits (If you have an amphibious car).

 

[IforceV8]

NBC just said screw this and signed off for the day.

 

[GTPorsche]

They signed off because the race isn't happening today.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

How does this affect Dixon and Bourdais? I thought both were suppose to leave for LeMans right after the race.

 

[catamount39]

They didn't happen to mention when they're restarting it did they?

How does this affect Dixon and Bourdais? I thought both were suppose to leave for LeMans right after the race.

They're gonna be late that's for sure.

 

[IforceV8]

It took 20hrs to deal with .75 inch of rain and now they have had 2" since the red flag came out. They might hope to race tomorrow but I will bet on a September date between the Glen and Sonoma.

 

[GTPorsche]

Them, Aleshin and Townsend Bell all missed scrutineering that they were suppose to be there for earlier today. No idea what implications there are going to be for that.

The Ford guys have been OK'd to miss it and Aleshin and Bell's cars arent scheduled to go thru until Monday. Bell already left so the only the only guy that could have a issue is Aleshin.

 

[GTPorsche]

Well, it's nice for the ACO to give them an exemption on scrutineering.

 

[IforceV8]

Race to be run Saturday August 27th.

 

[TDZdave]

Ok, an odd question, will Newgarden be able to participate in the restart?

And what did Graham Rahal say?

In theory if it's a restart he should be able to, he is 30 laps down though.
