Ryan Newman's 2009 Amp Energy 500 Blowover and Flip

[Theguyof93]

Man I would have loved to see an in-car camera on Harvicks car!

[DanielKhuu]

he is an actor on dysney channel

[kingofrunescapepking]

newman's speech that day helped bring about the "boys, have at it" that we saw this year

this year's talladega races had 88 and 87 lead changes, respectively.

im glad nascar came with the new spoiler and safer car because that wing could have gone right threw kevin's window and killed him



[ACDCsuperfan91]

wow I wish harvick had an on-board!!

[andrew24rocks2]

this was a boring ass race but in the last five laps their were two flips!

[asphaltcowboy07]

Newman is right,if you come to the race for the wrecks "GO HOME YOU DON'T BELONG THERE"!!!!!!Thank god he was fine.

[nascarfanatic2425]

True, but his back was airbourne, and he was heading for the wall. There was probably a chance that his wreck would've looked a lot like Bobby Allison's wreck here a number of years back. It's hard to say. It did look like he might've come down before the car hit the wall/fence, but then again, maybe not.

[rebelandsmokefan]

i am sure glad they went back to the spoiler i figured that would happen eventually just glad he did not get hurt any worse GO SHR

[BassmasterBling]

NASCAR is doomed, Chevrolet has no business taking our tax money and being involved in NASCAR in any way. And Ryan is right, this ain't racing at all!

[rngd311]

compared to f1 or le mans it's pretty weak, although I'm sure chevy is making more money off NASCAR than it is spending on it

[leafygreentree]

Ryan Newman... Classy guy. Speaks his mind in a straight forward way. Glad he was okay.

[xD12xSiCkNaStY]

That cot car must have not gotten tested for what happens if the car is going backwards at 180+. The ass end is concaved and the wing design creates uplift when airflow comes from the back. Both help the car get into the air and take off. Nascar is definetly going in the wrong direction here

[Bluestorm5]

don't forget roof flaps

[DFDSFUEIFH]

I SAID LMAO AFTER THE QUOTATION MARKS! What was in the quotation marks, was what I said it would be funny if he did say that.

[Nas49Razing]

he got so high i think the cots are worse then the other cars they would blowover that easy

[cousinearl216]

poor guy cant flip and land on his wheels

[pwnzor3000]

Something went wrong on the designe of the car if it went straight over like that....

[MichaelMyers43]

at first when u see the quick glance at the car in the air in the beginning, i thought it was carl edwards...but Newman and Mark Martin who flipped after this are my 2 favorites and I was pissed.

[DFDSFUEIFH]

It would've been VERY FUNNY if after his crew chief said "Are you okay?" if he said "Yes! NOW FLIP THIS DAMN CAR OVER!!!" LMAO

[chicagocub1988]

Not often the roof pinches in on your head. Neman is lucky the greenhouse on the COT had the extra 3-4 inches of headroom. Still, NASCAR should add another roll bar to help that from pinching in so much because it seems to be a problem with the COT cars not landing on all 4.

[KKFan9]

Very nice to see Newman be okay after that wreck. I mean cutting the roof off was definitely the way to go. Newman is a bigger guy as it is to other drivers (6 foot tall, approx 190 pounds) and the roof was caved in a bit so I mean not a lot of room for him to just climb out either way. As much as I hate the COT's, I love the safety. Had than been the 80's, Newman wouldnt be racing the rest of the year with injuries due to the wreck.

[cctitansfan]

glad my guy newman walked away from this

[jamespic]

Hello Newman!!!!!

[LAMB0GiNNiZZ]

once again the theory of "2009, year of the flip" is proven not once but twice!

[AEMoreira81]

No, three times.

[24legogeek]

It seems like the COT causes more flips at tracks other than the usual Talladega and Daytona. We've had 3 restrictor plate flips this year, but since the implementation of the COT, there've been flips at Texas, California, and Dover as well

[cousinearl216]

4 flips. 1. kenseth at dega ntnwd 2. edwards at dega cup 3. this 4. martin today

[24legogeek]

5. Joey Logano at Dover

[DFDSFUEIFH]

Well, he meant 4 flips at Dega this year. LOL

[nascarfanatic2425]

@24legogeek There was two this year, too. Keselowski Atlanta, and Dale Jr. at Daytona in Nationwide.

[kingofrunescapepking]

@24legogeek there has since been another COT flip, brad at atlanta

[kkfan97]

@cousinearl216 6. Joe Nemechek at Nashville (Nationwide)

[solidsnake1934]

4 restrictor plate flips this year 4 at dega:16 nationwide Matt Kenseth,99 cup Carl Edwards,39 cup Ryan Newman,5 cup Mark Martin

[solidsnake1934]

4 flips at Restrictor plate tracks

[nascarfanatic2425]

I think you can get more air under that wing than you could the old spoiler. Mark Martin flipped after getting turned abrubtly, which NASCAR can't control. Carl and Ryan both got blown over. Yeah, the new car's more prone to flipping, I believe. If that's the case, though, I like the COT! As long as the driver's safe, I love seeing flips.

[iridethelines2nd]

is it me or is cot making cars flip more?
