At the time, the car also burst into flames and many were worried Ryan may not have survived the accident.

As we reported, Ryan had a tough week including announcing just 4 days before the race that he and his wife of 16-years had separated. Newman issued a statement at the time saying, “After 16 years of marriage, Krissie and I have decided to amicably separate."

He continued, “We will continue to jointly raise our girls while remaining friends and continuing to work together supporting Rescue Ranch. Thank you for the years of support and friendship. We ask that our daughter's privacy be respected during this time."

Many fans took to social media to support the driver and his family and ask if the near-death experience may actually bring the family back together.

Ryan's wife, Krissie, was with him at the hospital and posted video on Twitter of their daughters walking with their father out of the hospital.

"Sometimes tragedy will bring people back together!! Thanking God again this morning that @RyanJNewman is okay!!" a fan tweeted after the crash.

One of his fans added, "Ryan really needs you at this time. Hopefully, w/God’s help & a miracle...Ryan will completely recover & also heal your marriage. Don’t give up. Praying 4the Lord 2b w/your family always. Healing prayers lifting."

Bottom line...It's great to see him up and walking with his kids and we wish him a swift recovery.
