Ryan was one I followed when he drove for Dodge (I only own 2 diecast NASCAR's...his and Darrell W), and the silence surrounding his condition was unwarranted. Used to be there was a doctor that would come out to the news microphones at a podium and update us on a driver's condition as soon as it was ascertained....now with social media the delay caused Twitter to go nuts with all sorts of speculation.
I was really shocked and relieved at how good he appeared to be in the photo that was released but then saw how burned he was on his arms and back in the last photo of him walking out of the hospital (no shoes....must be burned on his feet as well). NASCAR is going to have to answer for this at some point....we don't need any more deaths and more steps need to be taken to shut the fuel off as soon as the car goes upside down to prevent those burns.
