NASCAR's Toughest Driver

[@johnthechoochooaddict796]

Fun Fact: Ryan Newman was the last active driver who competed with Dale Sr.

[@lelandwarner]

That's insane

[@StealingStarFTW]

I’m pretty sure Newman once said “I’m not getting paid to let people pass me”

[@RaleighRyan]

I still can't believe he survived that Daytona 500 crash in 2020. Blows my mind.

[@DaVionWright-xx6bb]

I still can't believe he lost the Daytona 500 in 2020

@@DaVionWright-xx6bbdid you see dale Earnharts crash

[@GffffxtxtdSucksBallsTakeThat]

He saved his own life by calling on NASCAR to improve the roll cage after his 2009 Talladega crash. Twice, technically, because in the 2013 Spring Talladega race Kurt Busch flipped on top of him and almost killed him if it weren’t for that roll bar upgrade. ps made before i even watched the video just knew from the top of my head

[@jacksonharrigan935]

He helped design one of the bars in the role cage that helped save him

[@FallLover995]

You mean 2003?

[@lilr117nascar]

Here is another example of Newman did not want to get lapped. In 2017 at Dover Chase Elliott was looking for his first win having led 138 laps but got stuck behind the 31, causing Kyle Busch to catch him and take the win.

[@mmw_GDot]

bro is the deffinition of "if death wants me it has to earn me" also im not shocked by how he survived im shocked by how he is like a magnet for crashes

[@kyledabearsfan]

I was watching that Newman crash in 2003. Its like all the air in the room disappeared when that crash happened. Just plain silence, it was horrific, and the fact he walked out was mind blowing.

[@disfiguringthegoddess1102]

Shout out to the scientists that develop all the safety stuff. Amazing work

[@FourEyesOptic]

If I was the US Army I would absolutely use all clips of him hopping out of the car as propaganda lmfaoooo especially when they show the "Army Strong" jacket

[@ExcessEnergy]

Missed opportunities

[@Bload72productions]

What made Newman unique was he wasn't necessarily the toughest of all time, but the toughest of his time. Back 30+ years ago Dale Sr., Davey Allison, Ricky Rudd, Rusty Wallace and others would have big crashes and get injured and still drive their cars in the following weeks, Newman kept that attitude alive at a time no one else really did.

[@dayzer001]

He is captain america fr

[@usagentcyclone]

Thanks for that arrow at the beginning. Would not have known which car was flipping otherwise

[@VinceMoscar]

No problem I gotchu

[@kaicollymore39]

Ryan Newman is one of the best drivers in the 2000-2015 seasons tbh

[@ryanbraves]

I miss those Alltel days for sure!

[@beeemm2578]

2:18 walks by the stretcher like a boss. 😄

[@Ventlet547]

6:16 bro jumped out of a destroyed car, dusted himself off and ignored all of the safety workers and walked right into the ambulance, bro is stronger than metal.

[@SammRsw]

Definitely an underrated driver which deserved better, my favorite to say the least

[@KingSolomonRacingNetwork9824]

I agree

[@ryansheehan9462]

I met Newman at Lime Rock Park a couple weeks ago. He and many other former NASCAR, IndyCar, and F1 drivers were there to run the SpeedTour All Star Race in conjunction with Trans Am. He and his co-driver won the race, surprising as Newman wasn’t known as a road course ace in his time.

[@TiltStig52]

Newman is definetly one of the most underrated drivers of all time

[@Carsboy95]

Newman is such a underrated driver, he should be in the hall of fame tvh

[@Carsboy95]

*tbh

[@JoeDoesWrestling]

Shouldn't be first ballot or anything but def within the first 15 years.

[@sametozkan9175]

Fun fact: Alltel almost left from Nascar at end of 2003, but they stayed grandfathered in when Nextel became new title sponsor.

[@MJForever1999]

Until Sprint bought Nextel and made NASCAR agree that they wouldn't seek sponsorship from rival cellular companies...That's why Cingular/AT&T abandoned RCR as well

[@sametozkan9175]

@@MJForever1999 And AT&T almost sponsored Jeff Burton in 2004 as Citgo's replacement sponsor if Visa, Coca-Cola or McDonald's became new title sponsor instead of Nextel.

[@nglent51]

He also survived a Rock Em Sock Em Robots match while strapped into a car against Clint Bowyer, from which he immediately climbed out of the car unscathed😂

[@arcticphoenix2789]

Ryan Newman is as smart as he is tough. That is why I respect Newman as a driver, he knows what he getting into every single race.

[@kyleberryhill7627]

Ive been to 6 Cup races in my life up till now and I can say half of those races involved Newman either flipping or having cars on top of him. 09 Spring Talladega, 09 Fall Talladega, 2020 Daytona 500

[@ExcessEnergy]

My great uncle owned alltel stores around concord and looooved Ryan Newman. Willing to bet he actually met him at least once given the proximity lol. Probably one of the ‘best to never win a championship’ guys

[@TheOriginalBadger]

I miss Ryan Newman... one of my favourites.

[@TheForeverRanger]

Knew who this video was about before even clicking. He knew the bottom of those cars better than the mechanics.

[@MCscarfacematt]

ignored all safety officials as he walked himself to the ambulance well at that point he knew the routine

[@BillyProctor-id4cr]

He has a car on top of him or slinging the rear end out of it. He is still my hero. The toughest guy in NASCAR. God bless you Ryan.

[@G_PTYNicolasCMP]

I remember going to the usa for the 2017 500 and i saw him in person even tho kinda dissapointed he didnt sign my hoodie or 1/64 diecast it was nice to see him

[@phoebeeileenbrooks110]

Thank you for this. It’s hard being a Newman fan, but we know what’s really good 🤘🏻

[@RyanShileds39]

Ryan Newman is the next Chuck Armstrong.

[@philip831511]

2005 texas qualifying, he about knocked the wall down in turn 3-4. That was a vicious hit.

[@rosarioyeen1371]

People slept on Rocketman and his resilience.

[@jerryshepherd1645]

Newman one of the best or the best drivers He is still better than a lot the drivers today Great man and great driver

[@ashketchumsdad]

Late to this video, but what made Newman great, was that "tough to pass" thing actually worked for him. Time and time again he got the points he needed. It was effective and worked for him. It doesn't work for these drivers today

[@evangeorge6222]

Love how I’m just now getting into nasscar

[@GabrielMenezes-qb4vc]

he was NASCAR's invincible shield

[@NotSteveCook]

Ricky Rudd is still NASCAR's Ironman, but you make a strong case for Ryan for his era. He's still 9th in the all-time recordbook for poles, and won 34 of them between 2002-2005! Light the fuse; here's the Rocketman...

[@nicalos007]

Newman is still one of my top drivers who should’ve won a championship, and several times.

[@dcmsr5141]

Excellent piece of work!!

[@rick6083]

Hes been in the air more than the ground on superspeedways and more on top of him

[@ic3man]

Edwards moved down on Brad tbf to Brad. This video is great. It’s my first time watching your channel. Keep up the great work! You earned a sub

[@Luke-zv8qj]

This guy is not a parking spot…

[@Racer59Productions]

Newman deserved a championship

[@mtsachs]

love this. all-time favorite driver. Ryan is one big son of a bitch in all the right ways. one of the last from a generation of drivers who played a more than active role in tuning and set-up. smart guy. also super kind.

[@riensantiago__]

I’m an F1 fan and don’t really watch nascar that much but it’s actually pretty interesting

[@smallmaxo9659]

could you do a harvick episode?

8:05 wow that's a crazy hit

[@oxye_]

Other motorsports : yea, we go left and right. Nascar : you go right????

[@ineedmilkster6720]

incredible video!

[@box3229]

A ton of cars also landed on top of him

[@robdonnelly6537]

12:27 this one was easily his scariest crash.

[@andyjackson304]

It's been said that if you ask any driver in the garage to pick the person you'd want to have your back in a fight every driver would pick Ryan Newman. He's a tough son of a gun but an extremely smart and humble guy. I think it was Joey Logano who said that he got clipped by Newman during a race and sent into the wall. He said he was irate and was ready to have words with whoever wrecked him. When Logano found out it was Newman, his demeanor quickly changed and said well he probably didn't do it.

[@PanAm747Clipper]

„If Ryan Newman crashes, he‘s getting out of that car, PERIOD“

[@nickb8773]

Ryan is in fact one tough customer

[@sr71sr71]

I genuinely thought we saw him die in 2020, that wreck made me sick that evening, Gordons face while Mike spoke, it all was so grim, AND THEN THE MOTHER FUCKER JUST UP AND WALKS OUTTA THE HOSPITAL LIKE A BADASS HOLDING HIS DAUGTHERS' HANDS... Absolute legend.

[@CaliPlanesFan]

Newman also avoided The big one at Daytona (The time when Austin Dillion got launched into the catch fence)

[@mtzproductionstf.8844]

I remember seen the first clip of the crash I was impressed I thought he died

Is it ok if I post a video similar to this? I was in the process of making the video about him and his wrecks, then I saw this and didn’t want u to think I was copying u if I uploaded mine and you saw it.

[@VinceMoscar]

Go for it, no worries

[@AkiUwUx3]

the reason people slowly stopped watching nascar, unfortunatey and dark enough, was because deaths stopped happening Dale is still the last to die, but if someone dies in these new gen cars, I have a dark feeling that it's gonna bring back people We never wish it, but dark enough we want it It took Dale to make people understand safety and yet here we are

[@bobwilson758]

Newman kinda reminds me of Cale in his prime -

i think you forgot to mention newman´s 2003 near flip at watkins glen, but who cares, great content 👍

[@MercilessMe]

It took a car stricking his helmet at ~190 mph to injure him...then literally not two days later, he walks out of the hospital. Now he owns that car and helmet like one of his trophies. And even though the new car spooked him, he still hops in it from time to time and is hunting a modified championship. Think he was tough to pass in NASCAR? Watch him race those modifieds lol

[@JakeFromFarm243jdbalXD0-2gNhsC]

this was an awesome and great documentary about Ryan Newman and who he was as a driver. Kept me entertained and informed throughout the whole video. You've done a great and tremendous job, keep it up! I can't wait to see your next video

[@gsstopmotions]

Ryan Newman is the Ricky Rudd of the 2010’s.

[@michaelgplayzz]

at what point does he put a sign that says free parking zone on the top of his car?

[@buntew9414]

[@resyrum5301]

13:32 Newman definitely did lose a step. SRX is a different competition level than the Cup series, and Newman was just worse than he was before the crash
