As Monday night’s Daytona 500 winner, Denny Hamlin, raced first across the finish line for his third time, fellow driver Ryan Newman was caught with his car flipped upside down. Monday night Roush Fenway released a statement saying racer Ryan Newman was “in serious condition” at Halifax Medical Center in Daytona Beach, Florida.

In the statement the racing organization said Newman’s “injuries are not life threatening.” The organization said it will continue to update the public on Newman’s condition.

Hamlin beat Ryan Blaney to the finish line in the second-closest finish in race history, but the win for Joe Gibbs Racing came as Newman was wrecked as the leader and crossed the finish line with his car on its roof, engulfed in flames.
