VIDEO: Ryan Newman Loses Control and Flips on Final Stretch at Daytona 500 in Fiery Wreck

Denny Hamlin might have won the 62nd running of the Daytona 500, but it's Ryan Newman's wreck that ended up as the main story of the evening. Newman, who was in first place, was rounding one of the final turns when his bumper was hit. That sent his car sputtering out of control before inverting and sliding across the track in a complete wreck, sparks kicking up beside him.

Here is the final lap of the Daytona 500 in which Ryan Newman's car was flipped at the line.
