We are spoiled, race fans

I became a fan of Winston Cup racing in 1993. That year Rusty Wallace won 10 races. That black deuce was the coolest looking car, and Wallace didn’t look or sound like a stereotypical NASCAR driver. That season was punctuated by an incredible wreck for the 2 car at Talladega. 

Bob Jenkins and Benny Parsons, an iconic Cup announcing duo in my opinion were shortly remarking how they could see Rusty moving around in the smoking tubular skeleton of his wrecked machine.  It felt like a miracle that he survived not one, but two airborne, harrowing, car shredding crashes in a single season. He had already done the exact same bone-jarring choreography to exit the season opening Daytona 500.

There hadn’t been that much torn up Miller Genuine Draft aluminum since the first time my parents left me at home alone for an overnight. 

I can remember some really insane moments in my time as a Cup fantatic. Ricky Craven’s car tumbling through the catch-fence at ‘Dega. Ryan Newman’s previously most-harrowing Daytona 500 wreck, or Michael McDowell’s machine impossibly seeming to gain speed at Texas. They all walked away. 

Ernie Irvan wasn’t quite so lucky at Michigan. But he would return to racing after the practice wreck that derailed his 1994 title hopes. 

There were much darker times. Two fatal accidents at my home track in New Hampshire that claimed a young Kenny Irwin, and an impossibly young Adam Petty. Leading up to 2001, we were still in the racing dark ages. We let these guys crash in to concrete walls and thought it was ok. Literally. 

In light of Ryan Newman’s terrifying crash to cap of this year’s Daytona 500, there seems to be a questioning about the safety of racing. Is there a moral question about doing this? About plate racing? About going this fast?

The answer is obviously maybe. We can’t stop asking questions. For race fans of a certain age, the haunting image of an ambulance crawling to Halifax Medical Center on a sunny day, a desperately jogging Dale Jr., and the haunted eyes of Kenny Schrader are unforgettable. Dale Earnhardt’s death propelled the sport in to a new era of safety, and thanks to angels and engineers, he is the last Cup driver who died in competition. 

The car that became the controversial car of tomorrow is an engineering marvel. The concrete that cars used to smash at crushing speeds is covered with a system to dissipate the deadly energy. Helmets, seats, head and neck systems, foam in the panels of the doors and specially placed roll bars all mean that this pursuit of inhuman speed is astronomically safer. 

Is it dangerous? Of course. 

Can you take the danger away? No. Never.

As the Fox cameras zoomed in on the smoking hulk of Ryan Newman’s Ford, fuel dripping from the ruptured cell, and the ungodly sight of the crushed roll cage laying on the asphalt, my heart sank. 

That Newman is alive, and talking, is a miracle. It’s a miracle I’m grateful for. It alleviated a feeling that the NASCAR community hasn’t felt in 19 years. The tears we all held back never fell. But make no mistake, they may someday. We’ve been spoiled race fans.

Our heroes ride the edge of sanity, tempting death every week. They know it, and we know it. I’m so happy to be spoiled. If we’re lucky, it will be a very long time before we have that pit in our stomachs again. But remember that whole time just how spoiled you are. 

I love this sport, and I love that Ryan Newman is still with us. So glad to be spoiled.

#RyanNewman on her Instagram. I know her from #SeeDadRun and she’s the reason I also checked out episodes of #TheThundermans in which she guest starred. I still can’t believe she graduated Summa Cum Laude in Psychology recently, quite an achievement.

Braden Thankful for Daytona Miracle

Non-life threatening? After that crash? And following a media silence unlike today’s press? The fact Ryan Newman, a 42-year-old who’s been in the racing circuit the past 20-plus years, was released from Halifax Medical Center in Daytona earlier today, only two days after a horrific accident, represents a racing miracle as far as professional driver Travis Braden is concerned. “Anyone who saw that wreck thought the worst,” said the Wheeling Park High graduate now living in Charlotte, N.C. “When Ryan slid and hit the wall, there was a chance he’d settle, but then the cars behind him came into play, and then he went airborne. “There were two laps left, and he was competing, and everyone up front was really going fast. They all were pushing it as hard as they could,” Braden explained. “The cages in our cars are very solid, but that doesn’t mean something else couldn't happen. In this case, thank God, Ryan is going to be OK, and everyone in this business breathed a sigh of relief as soon as it was reported.”

One of Randy Newman's old race cars remains on display at the Daytona Speedway.

All OK?

For only a few moments, Braden believed Newman’s No. 6 Ford Mustang would settle on the side of the track, but then the unexpected took place. “At first, it looked like Ryan was in a normal wreck for that time in the race,” Braden explained. “They were all pretty close to each other, and Ryan got spun, and it looked like it would be over once he hit the wall, but then he went airborne and flipped, and that’s where it got more violent. “Then, when another car hit him on the driver’s side, that’s when you really started thinking the worst,” he said. “We’re pretty protected inside the cars, but you never know what’s going to happen in a wreck like that. It’s a miracle he’s alive, and the best news is that his injuries aren’t life-threatening. Now we’re just hoping he can fully recover from the injuries he did suffer.”

While he was a student at WVU, the university was one of Braden's biggest supporters.

Reality of Risks

Seldom is there a race on any professional level during which wrecks do not take place, the 25-year-old Wheeling native said, so when he suits up for Team Platinum at the Hickory Motor Speedway in March, Braden once again will realize the risks of racing. “I can’t lie. It was a tense moment for me because no one in this business ever wants something like that to happen,” Braden admitted. “And then it seemed to take forever for any information to come out. Everyone was just silent, and all we could do was wait for NASCAR to come out and say something. “It was weird for me, too, because you can’t help but think about it,” he said. “You know being involved in a wreck like that is always a possibility when you go out there, but you never think about anything happening because, most of the time, the accidents are pretty minor as far as injuries. Your car might get damaged to the point that the race is over for you, but at least you can walk away from it.” Braden is coming off a triumphant trip to Pensacola, Fla., in early December, where he claimed the checkered flag in the annual Snowball Derby. It was an improbable victory, too, because of damage sustained to his No. 26 Ford during the qualifying rounds.

Braden is ready to race.

The Way to Win

The crew of Team Platinum, however, worked diligently on the necessary repairs that enabled Braden to compete. At the conclusion of the race, however, it appeared Braden had finished second in the derby, but after the lead driver was disqualified for utilizing illegal equipment, Braden hoisted the huge Snowball trophy. “You and your crew do everything possible in the name of safety,” he explained. “And then you go out there and run it as hard as you can. That’s the mindset I have, and I can only speak for myself. “I think the racing industry has made a lot of changes, too, to increase the safety of the drivers, and I think those things have made big differences. Ryan Newman’s wreck is another example,” Braden added. “When an accident like what took place in Daytona happens, you pray for the driver, and then you do your best to get it out of your mind because you can’t go out there and compete with that on your mind. You won’t win that way.” Read the full article
