Newman discharged from hospital following Daytona 500 crash

Newman walks out of hospital with his two daughters

NASCAR driver Ryan Newman has been discharged from the Halifax Medical Center where he had been recovering from a huge last-lap crash in the Daytona 500.

Newman had been leading the Daytona 500, the headline race on the NASCAR calendar, as the last lap began, but a tap from the rear sent him into a spin. His car then flipped and was hit at over 200mph by another driver.

Team Roush Fenway Racing released a statement on Wednesday saying that Newman was 'awake and speaking', but posted a single image on social media on Wednesday evening of the driver leaving the Halifax Medical Center, walking hand in hand with his two daughters.
