Graduation Day

KANNAPOLIS, N.C. - “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. You are the guy who’ll decide where to go” – Dr. Seuss For each of us, every day is a learning experience. From the moment one wakes up until it is time to sleep, once again, there are moments of growth and understanding that we didn’t have before. So, in turn, at the end of each day, each of us enjoys a “graduation” of sorts. The same theory can be applied to everything each of us does. For instance, on the racetrack, Ryan Newman and his No. 39 Haas Automation … Read entire article »

Newman Shooting for a Big, Bold Turnaround at Texas

KANNAPOLIS, N.C. – They say everything is bigger in Texas. Ryan Newman and his No. 39 Tornados team hope that’s one saying that proves true as they are looking for a big turnaround in their fortunes at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth. Newman and his Stewart-Haas Racing team are ready to get back on the right track and end the 2010 season on a high note. Just three weeks ago, Newman was enjoying his best and most successful stretch of the season. The No. 39 team was a force to contend with each week in the top-10 and, more often than not, the best-finishing non-Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship contender. In a span of seven weeks, Newman finished no worse than 11th. The stretch dated back to the night race at … Read entire article »

Newman Seeking Another Successful Short-Track Run

KANNAPOLIS, N.C. (Oct. 19, 2010) – For Ryan Newman and the No. 39 Tornados Chevrolet team for Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR), this weekend’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway couldn’t come at a better time. Short tracks have been the backbone of the No. 39 team’s success since Newman joined SHR in 2009. Newman & Company have racked up impressive stats at tracks under a mile in length – Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway, Richmond (Va.) International Raceway, and Martinsville. In fact, Newman has posted a finish outside of the top-10 only twice in a combined 11 starts at the three short tracks on the Sprint Cup circuit, and that was a 16th-place finish at Bristol in March and an 11th-place finish at Richmond in September. So, after last weekend’s disappointing outing … Read entire article »

Ryan Newman Proving His Team is The Best of the Rest

KANNAPOLIS, N.C. – Ryan Newman and his No. 39 Stewart-Haas Racing team have been on an impressive streak in recent weeks. In the last seven races, Newman has six top-10s and one top-five finish, which he earned this past weekend at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif. His worst finish during that stretch was an 11th-place at Richmond (Va.) International Raceway on Sept. 11. However, in a lot of respects, Newman & Company feel the impressive numbers are too little, too late, for a run in the Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship was not in the cards for them this year. Newman and his No. 39 Haas Automation team fell just short of making the Chase and were relegated to the outside looking in on the battle for the championship. As the … Read entire article »
