Ryan Newman failed to qualify for the Round of 12 last week, and his bad luck and misfortune continued at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Sunday.
Newman was involved in a crash in Stage 1 of the race, and his car quickly caught fire.

Newman's day came to an end, and he nearly took a couple of playoff drivers with him. Brad Keselowski and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. barely avoided the crash.
