— Denny Hamlin February 18, 2020 "I had absolutely NO IDEA of the severity of the crash until I got to victory lane. There's very little communication after the finish and i had already unhooked my radio. It's not anyone's fault," Hamlin wrote in the post.Joe Gibbs, the owner of Hamlin's team, said the team only realized the extent of Newman's injuries once they were in the winner's circle.

Gibbs and Hamlin are class acts. Salute. . JoeGibbsRacing dennyhamlin FedEx

useless news! Brainwashing people

Still makes the cars safer like F1

I hope he is okay, so he can come back and bump the person that bumped him into the wall.

That’s very classy but imo they did nothing wrong. JoeGibbsRacing dennyhamlin prayers go out to RyanJNewman and those two sweet girls. An of course all of his family and friends

dennyhamlin gets passed clean, retaliates with petulant wreck-causing move, pit crew celebrates as flaming wreck tumbles by. Great team you've got there, FedEx.

NASCAR culture is very strange. Am I right?

Why? I'm not a NASCAR fan, But you just won the Super Bowl of NASCAR... Enjoy yourself. Next week it might be you upside down in a burning car.

That's the Murrican' way tho. Not caring who gets hurt as long as YOU win or gain. This seems perfectly in alignmment. They're probably Trump lovin 'Christians'

Joe gibbs and his teams are 'amazing' but when Ryan Newman's car came sliding down the front stretch....I personally would have taken that extra second and looked and would have vaulted my celebration. Thats just me. My prayers to Ryan.

They didn’t know how serious it was. Nice gesture, but not needed. Prayers up for Ryan Newman

At least he has the courage to apologize, when he is wrong. Can't say much about CNN, their followers, or Democrats.

Joe Gibbs you are a class act! DAYTONA500
