DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Ryan Newman was lying in bed one morning, his two daughters still tucked in down the hall, when a YouTube video of his death-defying crash popped up as a recommended watch.He hit play, absorbing every angle of the terrifying tumble that nearly killed him on the final lap of last year’s Daytona 500.
He started to cry.His tears had little to do with his wreck, which started when he hit the wall, bounced back into traffic and was drilled by another driver.
