It's probably this or similar. I used it in my 6.0 Ford.

If he's able to race again I'm sure he will. That's what you do to win.


What did he win? Seems all he had to do while being in the lead was step on the gas and stay ahead of the competition by racing his follower to the finish.

He no doubt was all out on the gas, but the following car was getting a great draft and could blow by if given any opening.

He’s a race car driver.


Newman is one the hardest drivers to try to pass. He doesn't cut much slack and the other guys have to work real hard to get past him.

Great news! It would be interesting to know what was going on the whole time that the world had written him off at the track.

My guess is that they were following protocol for a potential life threatening injury, both in care and reporting.

Which if great, and they should have. I was referencing the gloom and doom being spread.

Wasn't he previously listed as "Serious but non life threatening injuries"?

Radio news an hour ago said he was out of the hospital.

No one else heard anything?

Bad week for Ryan.

This was pretty funny last year. Boyer was trying to get his ass kicked. At least he could have taken his helmet off. Newman is hard to pass and he ain't gonna cut any slack. It pisses people off, but that's racing.
