Monster Mile isn’t a scary place for Newman
KANNAPOLIS, N.C. – Ryan Newman’s favorite Dover (Del.) International Speedway story actually has little to do with the concrete mile oval that he has deemed one of his favorite racetracks – one where he has scored three NASCAR Sprint Cup Series wins and one that he will return to for Sunday’s AAA 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race. In fact, the story he loves to tell when he talks about Dover happened in his own backyard in Statesville, N.C. Well, to be more specific, it happened in his shop. … Read entire article »

Newman Hoping To ‘Filter’ Out All the Bad that Can Happen at Bristol
KANNAPOLIS, N.C. – For Ryan Newman and his No. 39 Stewart-Haas Racing team, there couldn’t be a better time than this weekend at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway for WIX Filters to jump on board as the No. 39 Chevrolet’s primary sponsor. After all, the Irwin Tools Night Race at Bristol is infamous for its treacherous demeanor. Don’t blink, because anything can happen at any time. It’s all part of the inherent challenges of short-track racing at Bristol – having someone wreck in front of you, having nowhere to go, thus being wrecked. … Read entire article »

Ryan Newman Fishing for His Spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup
KANNAPOLIS, N.C. – Michigan has always held a special place in Ryan Newman’s heart as it’s been the place where his two passions – fishing and racing – have uniquely converged and developed over the years. You see, Newman was picking up a fishing rod right around the same time he was buckling into his first Quarter Midget at the young age of 4. It was Newman’s grandfather, Jerry, who taught him about fishing. The two would often spend time together on Dewey Lake in Dowagiac, Mich. They would sit in their fishing boat for hours, casting their lines, hooking fish and then tossing them back into the lake. That’s where Newman began developing his love for the outdoors. … Read entire article »

Looking to Rebound Newman Hopes Score at Hoosier State’s Hallowed Racetrack
KANNAPOLIS, N.C. – Hoosier (Hoo-zar) – “A person born or living in Indiana, industrious, hospitable, down home folks who enjoy popcorn, Indiana summers, racecars and basketball.” Growing up in Indiana, it seems only natural that South Bend native Ryan Newman would be predisposed to following his athletic talents to either the racetrack or the basketball court. After all, racing and basketball are two very important elements of any Hoosier’s existence. At the young age of 4, Newman crawled behind the wheel of a Quarter-Midget and started driving in circles. Day after day, Newman would practice in his driveway, turning lap after lap, his father Greg instructing him which line to run and where to turn in the corners in order to perfect his lap in the quickest time possible. … Read entire article »

Ryan Newman Eager for a Home Track Advantage, Boost at Chicagoland
KANNAPOLIS, N.C. – There’s no place like home. And for Ryan Newman, this weekend’s LifeLock.com 400 at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, Ill., is as close as he gets to his hometown while traveling the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series circuit. The 1.5-mile oval is just a little more than 100 miles from Newman’s hometown of South Bend, Ind., where the Purdue University graduate began driving in circles under his parents’ watchful eyes at the young age of 4. Although Chicagoland Speedway wasn’t added to the Sprint Cup circuit until 2001, Newman is familiar with the area surrounding the track as he has been racing throughout the region since he was a mere tyke, piloting everything from Quarter-Midgets to Midgets to Sprint cars. … Read entire article »

It’s Time for a Reversal of Fortune for Ryan Newman
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 … Read entire article »
