Ryan Newman has officially been released from the hospital following a terrifying wreck on the final lap of the Daytona 500 on Monday.
Newman’s car flipped over and was hit at full speed by a second car before it slid down the track on its roof. After the collision, he was transported to a hospital where he was listed in serious condition.
News came that Newman was conscious and alert on Wednesday afternoon and that he was laughing and joking with his family while still hospitalized.
Just a few hours later, his team shared a photo of him walking out of the hospital hand in hand with his two daughters.
