Question

Any news on newmans free agency yet?

Answer 1

I am hoping that Tony and him have already made a deal and they are just keeping quiet.  But you never know he may shock you and go some where you never thought he would.

Answer 2

hearing on jayski.com he has made a commitment to stewart-haas racing and everything should be finalized in a month or so. he turned down offers for RCR,Everham Motorsports and Petty Enterprises. Stewart still could take like Truex Jr with him if he doesn't sign with DEI

Answer 3

o please why even the questioning we all know newman's going to stewart haas it's done, booked and checked. notice how there is absolutely NO ONE else tony wants?

Answer 4

No but every body knows hes going to Stewart Haas.

Answer 5

He will be with Stewart.

Answer 6

Free agency nothing.  Roger Penske fired Newman.

Answer 7

Not that I have heard. But the way Tony and him have been acting I think it's a done deal.

Answer 8

I would look for him at Stewart Haas.  Now as far as Rusty's comments go....For years I was a big fan of Rusty's, but since he retired, I think he is getting a little senile or something.  I don't know.  I find it hard to believe Roger Penske fired the guy that brought him his first Daytona 500 win.    And to those who would compare Ryan to Jeremy Mayfield, that is a stretch, Mayfield is a second or third tier driver at best. Newman is in the same class as Stewart, Johnson, and Gordon.  Look at Kurt Busch, he has not been burning it up at Penske, and he his a former champ.

Answer 9

To the person who mentioned Rusty's comment (forgot your username), both Ryan Newman AND Roger Penske confirmed that the split was mutual a day or two later.

Rusty was my favorite driver until he retired, but he should really let things go. Why is he still feuding with Newman? Come on Rusty.

Anyway, as far as Newman's free agency (he's been my favorite driver since Rusty's retirement, so I've been keeping up on it), he has said that he has narrowed it down to one team. But, he didn't say what team...though, of course, everyone thinks it's Stewart-Haas. On the other side of it, Tony Stewart has narrowed it down to "three, but especially two, drivers," (I'm paraphrasing there), Ryan Newman included...but he didn't say who the others were.

Is the deal done and they're just keeping it quiet for some reason? I don't know, but I don't see why they would do that unless they wanted to make a HUGE announcement with the cars all ready and everything.

I just wish Newman would get it over with already, the suspense is killing me.

Answer 10

I heard someone say that Newman doesn't want to go to Haas because he doesn't want to drive a Chevy. The person

claimed he said this on a local radio station in Indiana.

So, we shall see. I personally think Newman is like a spoiled

child wanting to leave Penske where he has won so many poles and won the Daytona 500 this year! I read on nascar.com that Rusty Wallace thinks that Newman didn't just leave on his own. He thinks Penske fired him because he was critizing Penske's equipment. Rusty Wallace said that is

what happened to Jeremy Mayfield when he left Penske.

And we all know what happened to Mayfield. He has gone

from ride to ride. In other words, he ruined himself.

So, if Newman really doesn't go to Haas, then I think he will end up like Mayfield. He will ruin his career.
