Impact: "I look forward to Phoenix, it's a driver's racetrack because it's unique," explained Newman. "It's different from one end to the other. And, therefore, the crew chief can only get one end perfect, it seems, and the other one the driver has to adapt to. Phoenix is one of my favorite tracks and I know Tony (Gibson, crew chief) feels the same." Newman has the ability to score a Top-10 finish in Sunday's Checker Auto Parts 500 at PIR.
