Ryan Newman Hopes to Add One More to the Résumé
KANNAPOLIS, N.C. – Ryan Newman has won 18 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races during his career and they’ve come on tracks that are .75-mile, 1 mile, 1.5 miles, 2 miles and 2.5 miles in length. But he’s never won on a road course and he’s never taken the checkered flag at a half-mile track. The road course races at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, Calif., and Watkins Glen (N.Y.) International are complete for 2011, but he can … Read entire article »

Newman’s Solid Martinsville Run Spoiled by Misfortunes
For the first 327 laps of Sunday’s Goody’s Fast Relief 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway, Ryan Newman and his No. 39 Haas Automation team looked to be a sure bet for another top-10 finish, or even a contender for the win. Newman led laps and ran solidly in the top-10 for most of the afternoon. Newman’s good fortunes came undone on lap 328, however, thanks to a broken header pipe that sapped his car’s horsepower for the rest of the race, and a flat left-rear tire that sent him for a spin off turn three a little later in the race. Those events conspired to put Newman two laps down and relegated him to a 20th-place finish at the .526-mile paperclip-shaped oval. “Our Haas Automation Chevy was … Read entire article »

Little Relief for Stewart at Martinsville
Tony Stewart endured a long and forgettable afternoon at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway, finishing 38 laps off the pace with a 34th-place finish in Sunday’s Goody’s Fast Relief 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race. The driver of the No. 14 Office Depot/Mobil 1 Chevrolet Impala for Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) was ultimately undone by a broken rear-end gear which sent him to the garage for repairs in the waning laps of the 500-lap race. Quick work by the team got Stewart back onto the .526-mile oval for a handful of laps before the checkered flag dropped, averting a dreaded DNF (Did Not Finish). “Ugly day,” said Stewart, who has seen better days at Martinsville as a two-time race winner at the unique, paperclip-shaped track. “We weren’t very good to start with, but we got … Read entire article »

HOW IS THE CAR? “The track is the same as it was. I don’t think the car is very good, but we have another hour and a half to work on it.” IS THIS ONE OF THE MORE DIFFICULT TRACKS TO GET CONSISTENTLY GOOD AT? “Well, not if you look at the guys that won the last eight or nine races here. We just haven’t been very good here for some reason lately.
