Newman was hospitalized for about 42 hours after his crash that sent his car tumbling down the frontstretch at Daytona International Speedway before sliding to a stop upside down. He was extracted from the car 15 minutes, 40 seconds after the car came to rest.
Newman said in a statement last month that the the only injury he suffered was a head injury. Newman has not disclosed any other details about that injury but told reporters last weekend at Phoenix Raceway that he had no timetable for his return to racing.
