Newman says that today's Next Gen Cup car is not as safe as it should be as he readies for return to racing at Darlington.
The race at the 1.366-mile Darlington Raceway on May 14 will mark the longest speedway on which Ryan Newman competes for Rick Ware Racing in NASCAR’s current Cup Series car.To be eligible for the NASCAR All-Star Open at North Wilkesboro Speedway later this month, Newman had to compete in Darlington’s Goodyear 400 due to his inactivity in the series since the 2021 season’s conclusion.
In 2020 on the final lap of the Daytona 500, he appeared headed for his second victory in that race when a few hundred feet from the checkered flag a push from Ryan Blaney went terribly wrong. His car turned sideways, hit the wall, lifted off the ground, flipped sideways and an oncoming Corey LaJoie slammed into its roof. NASCAR now requires teams to use two additional roll bar support pieces in the area where Newman’s car was hit in its roof.
“So, with that in mind, it’s just a matter of putting everything together. I’m hoping I can bring some energy to their team, their pit crew, their everything to make them step up their game. In saying that, I’m hoping I’m not the one that’s the weak link.”
