Photos show how Ryan Newman's devastating, fiery 190 mph crash at the Daytona 500 unfolded
The crash started as Newman attempted to block a late surge from Blaney near the finish line.
Blaney hit the back of Newman, causing him to spin out and crash into the track's retaining wall.
Newman's car then flipped before LaJoie slammed into him at around 190 mph, causing his car to be thrown into the air.
As Newman landed and skidded along the tarmac his car set alight.
Once at a halt, Newman's car could be seen leaking large amounts of fuel onto the ground.
Rescue crews rushed to put out the flames engulfing Newman's car.
His pit crew watched on in horror as they were kept away from the scene.
The 42-year-old was then cut out of the vehicle by a crew of more than 20 rescuers.
And stretchered into an ambulance while being obscured by protective screens.
He was then taken to the nearby Halifax Medical Center, where he remains in a serious condition. His injuries are not life threatening, NASCAR said.
