Ryan Newman walks out of the hospital under his own power 42 hours after a crash that left many fearing the worst. He was listed in serious condition Monday night, now holding hands with his daughters. “Miracle” seems like a cliche, but I’m at a loss for how else to describe it.

@realDonaldTrump @BubbaWallace Mr. President, your premise is false. 1) It wasn't a "hoax." Everyone involved truly believed it was threat directed at Wallace. And Wallace didn't report it; he was informed about it. 2) There hasn't been any noticeable impact on the ratings, which are not the lowest ever.

I suppose if Brandon Jones wrecks Ty Gibbs at Phoenix next week, Jones will get in trouble because it's a non-playoff driver manipulating the Championship 4. But if NASCAR doesn't penalize Gibbs, then it should let Jones do whatever he feels is necessary next week.
