NASCAR driver Ryan Newman continues to recover from the injuries he suffered during the horrifying accident at the end of the 2020 Daytona 500 earlier this month, and after leaving the hospital just days after the accident, Newman has been able to resume many of his normal activities. Newman is being treated for an unspecified head injury, but fortunately did not suffer any other internal injuries.
He was forced to miss last Sunday’s race in Las Vegas, and was replaced by Ross Chastain, and there currently is not a timetable for Newman’s return to the Cup Series. Chastain will fill in for Newman again this weekend at Auto Club Speedway in California.
Newman enjoyed a bit of “therapy” earlier this week, and posted a photo of himself fishing. On Wednesday, Roush Fenway Racing shared that Newman visited the team’s shop for the first time since the accident, and received an ovation from the crew and staff.
