WARREN, Mich. — U.S. Army NASCAR driver Ryan Newman is the first to admit that witnessing firsthand the Army’s state-of-the-art technology has been a privilege. Since he started to drive the Army Chevrolet for Stewart-Haas Racing in 2009, he has visited a number of military installations, and even at times took part in Army activities such as shooting high-powered weapons, driving a Stryker or free-falling in a vertical wind tunnel. Newman, who will drive the U.S. Army 236th Birthday Chevrolet, honoring NASCAR Hall of Famer Bud Moore in Sunday’s Sprint Cup race at Michigan International Speedway, enjoyed and marveled at another Army experience Wednesday.

Newman and the U.S. Army Team Ready to Take On The Glen
WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. – When it comes to Watkins Glen International, Ryan Newman has a fondness for the 2.45-mile, 11-turn road course. He is not fazed at all by the delicate left and right-hand turns, the back straightaway “bus stop” chicane or even the stock car oddity of right-side entrance pit stops. “Watkins Glen is a unique venue and a fun place to compete,” said Newman, driver of the No. 39 U.S. Army Chevrolet. “I really like the layout because you can attack the course. You can pass at the Glen and all of us drivers like a facility where you can pass. Our other road course track — Infineon Raceway — is more of a technical and finesse circuit.” … Read entire article »
