Another restrictor-plate race resulted in yet another disappointing outcome for Ryan Newman and the No. 39 Tornados team of Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR). A late-race crash in Saturday night’s Coke Zero 400 powered by Coca-Cola NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway resulted in a disappointing 26th-place finish.
Newman was running in the top-12 when he was caught up in a multi-car melee on lap 148 which began at the end of the backstretch. Nineteen cars were involved in the “Big One,” which erupted when two of the racecars in the close drafting pack got into one another, resulting in a massive pileup that caused the race to be red-flagged for nearly 20 minutes.

KANNAPOLIS, N.C. – To say that superspeedways have been unkind to Ryan Newman and his No. 39 Tornados Racing team is a gross understatement.
In fact, it probably makes more sense to use the old song lyrics, “If it weren’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck at all,” when talking about Newman and his No. 39 team at both of the superspeedways on the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series circuit – Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway and Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway.
Since joining the No. 39 Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) team at the start of the 2009 season, Newman has been the victim in a string of unfortunate wrecks of the “wrong-place/wrong-time” nature – in practice sessions and in races. In fact, in six point-paying and three non-point paying races at the two superspeedways as a member of SHR, Newman has been sidelined early due to accidents in five of those events.
