    hadn't heard he was awake or alert.....

    they emptied the pits and were holding up black screens to keep people from seeing the carnage, apparently.....

    here's a local news guy on the scene's tweet:

    Joe Kepner

    @JKepnerWFTV

    A stretcher is next to Newman’s car. Crews are using black screens to keep fans from seeing. And media has just been told to leave the pits. #DAYTONA500

    this has that Earnhardt feeling.....

    i don't know if they showed the ambulance leaving the track or not, but its speed would tell you a lot..... I remember Senior's moving at a rather slow pace, as they knew he was gone.... Schrader new it, too..... the "no information" and lack of information tell me he was in bad shape, and they're now working their asses off on him..... fact that no track workers or first responders have said anything positive tells me it's bad.....

    saying he was "rushed" to the hospital, so that's a decent sign he's got life.....


    here's the ambulance initially departing the scene:

    Donk - you thread title of whether he will Make it or Not is inappropriate. You have invaded my safe space with your post.

    I am totally amazed how so many drivers walk away from these types of crashes. I wish most modern cars had the same safety features. Ironically, Earnhardt's crash looked pretty tame at first. I was totally shocked when they said he had died. That was a very sad, sad day.

    He didn't like the Hans device. Said it was uncomfortable but made Jr wear his.

    the rednecks thought it was sad

    when my mother died, that was sad... when my daughter died, that was sad... a guy i never met? that i saw on tv? no, sorry, a bit upsetting maybe but if i'm gonna cry over people i don't know dying then i'm crying over billions

    The fact that not one safety worker or any of the others right there, hands on removing him from the scene, said a word (such as "he's conscious", "he was moving", or even "he's definitely alive" tells me alot.... hoping he was just knocked out, but we'll see...
