Quote
""After the race, I said I could hear my dad's tear drops over the radio while he spotted for me as I came to the start-finish line to win...When I was a kid, my dad would bring me to Daytona for the 500 and we would make fake passes with construction paper and glitter so that I could sneak into the garage and meet the drivers...Winning that race was a tribute to my dad and everything he had done for me to support and encourage my career. It was for all the people that had given me a shot - people who had given me monetary support, people who had helped pay for my uniforms, people who let me race their cars..."Official Site: Ryan Newman
