Newman Off to Best Start Ever as Stewart-Haas Driver
FONTANA, Calif. – Ryan Newman is enjoying his best start to a season since joining the Stewart-Haas Racing team in 2009. After four NASCAR Sprint Cup races, the driver of the No. 39 U.S. Army Chevrolet has three top 10s and a average finish of 10.5. Had it not been for a late-race wreck in the Daytona 500, Newman’s average finish would easily be in the single digits. The average finish of 10.5 is miles ahead of where he was at the same time during the past two seasons. When he made the Chase in 2009, Newman’s average finish after four races was 27.75. Last year when he came up short of making the Chase, his average finish was 26.25 after four events. Newman has also led 70 laps in the first four … Read entire article »
