Ryan Newman - Biography
Ryan Newman (born December 8, 1977), nicknamed "Rocket Man", is an American professional stock car racing driver. He currently competes full-time in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, driving the No. 31 Chevrolet SS for Richard Childress Racing.
Newman made his Busch Series debut on February 24, 2001, at Rockingham in the Alltel 200. He started second and finished ninth; it was his first of fifteen appearances in the 2001 season, where he finished with one win and eight Top 10 finishes. He joined Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s JR Motorsports for the 2009 campaign as the driver of the No. 5 Chevy, signing on for four appearances for the year. In May 2010, Newman was hired to drive the No. 1 car for Phoenix Racing at Dover. In 2011, Newman drove the No. 30 Chevrolet for Turner Motorsports at Phoenix International Raceway.
On February 13, 2020, Newman announced that he and his wife Krissie will "amicably separate", but will continue to run Rescue Ranch.
Concern about Ryan Newman’s condition flooded on February 17, 2020 from around the globe about the driver’s condition after his last-lap wreck in the Daytona 500. Newman was transported from Daytona International Speedway to nearby Halifax Medical Center, where he was in serious condition with injuries that were described by his team as not life threatening.
Newman was in the lead on the first lap of overtime when the tragic scene unfolded. Denny Hamlin, who went on to win the race for the third time in his career, explained afterwards that he was not aware of the severity of the crash until after his controversial celebration in victory lane. Joe Gibbs even put out an apology for how his team cheered in jubilation, but did note that none of them knew about the seriousness of Newman's condition until shortly after victory lane.
