Gosh, I have criticized one Penske driver this morning already because he ticked me off for messing w/ Smoke yesterday on pit road and am fixing to praise his teammate but that’s how it goes, I have been a Ryan Newman fan for a long time now, every since he started driving cup I have liked him. He has always done extremely well in qualifying, the guy has a degree in vehicle engineering from Purdue University. I met him and his then wife to be in Little Rock a few years back while I was involved in some programming for a client down there and our paths crossed, he’s a very likeable dude, and even though he was only like in his second year of racing cup he didn’t have a cocky attitude in any way that I could tell, in fact they were extremely friendly and I have followed him every since. I have two die-cast Alltel Cars signed and hanging in my office right now and have continued to be a fan all of this time. There for a while I feel like there might have been tension in the Penske camp, especially when Rusty was there, between these two teams, but all in all Newman continued to set records for the number of polls set, the guy is a driver, I think that it’s just a matter of time before he gets on a streak and wins a championship.
