Ryan Newman isn’t the type I would picture sitting around the roulette wheel at Caesars Palace. But we know he’s a gambler since he’s willing to move to what will be Stewart-Haas Racing, a team that has no Sprint Cup wins under its belt and currently has both of its cars ranked 35th or worse in the points standings.
OK, I know all you Tony fans will say that he is already successful as a team owner (USAC and World of Outlaws), a successful track owner and that he’s been successful in every form of racing he’s ever tried. You’re right. But don’t expect to see big things early on from a team that needs an overhaul.
What do you think the 2009 season will hold for Newman? Cast your vote in our poll.



I'm wondering what Kurt Busch thinks about Ryan's move. Maybe Kurt wishes he was the one moving.
