All My Ryan Newman Friends!

The Holidays are finally over!

My pro football team(Bengals) was one and done in the wild card playoffs....figures! They looked terrible! Their young and will be back later on this year.

I moved. Left my residents of 19 years. Living only about 3 miles from old residents. Switched to Time Warner from Direct TV but have Speed Channel as always.

This is the time of year I have a sports void till NASCAR kicks in February. Not into b-ball!

Hope you all are in good health and ready to cheer on Ryan Joseph Newman in his 11TH full time racing season in the Cup series with the new car? I haven't heard much about this new car. Been taking a much needed Nascar breather!

Looking forward to arguing/agreeing with our very small Newman fan family on here. Not sure how many years Ryan will be racing? He's made millions and has said he will stop racing eventually? My hope is Matt can restore the once feared "Rocket" to his greatness! The top race teams have become so evenly matched on race day. It's very hard to win a darn race unless your "perfect" with good racing luck. Team #39 needs to strive for perfection!

Reply if your still around about your hopes/fears of this upcoming racing season!

Um... I'm here. Ready & waiting to see what Fate has in store for Ryan this season.

Just hoping he isn't sent to the basement, as the red haired step child, in regards to Danica and Kevin trying to steal some of his thunder.

I'll be cheering Ryan on all season long. It's time for him to return to his former greatness. Maybe a full season with Matt as CC will turn things around for him.

Fingers, eyes & toes crossed!!

I kinda worry about the red headed step child thing too. Not so much anything silly like lesser equipment or anything, because that would just be dumb. But they changed his CC (thank god) to a guy in the organzation that already has a full time job, & next year Kevin comes in with sponsorship. This could be as a replacement of Ryan & then the CC just goes back to his other full time job. Think things will have to go very well for Ryan this year for SHR to go to 4 teams next year.

Of course my optimistic side (thanks to having a new CC) says they are very serious about having a great season, Which would be why Ryan is in so many meetings right now, instead of out hunting or something. of course my on guard side, still has this other thought in the back of my head. It is a safe combo for SHR, even if they let Ryan walk next year. They wouldnt lose any other personnel.

That is my fear, Kevin and Danica got multiple year contracts, yet Ryan only rec'd one year extensions... We all need to read between the lines here on Newman....... I am here for Ryan Newman ONLY, not #10 Danica or Kevin Harvick. I just feel like Ryan Newman is getting thrown under the bus here. I hope we are wrong, but we shall see what Tony does with Ryan this years end. Ryan just step it up and Win some Races and Win some POLES...........

ryan never got thrown under the bus (sarcastic), it only took SHR 4 years to give ryan a new CC and crew when his old team did nothing to back him up and tony got all the upgrades.....

there is a pecking order and u can bet ryan is at the bottom, loyalty gets ya nothing today, he should have moved on last year.

think the suit will look even better with all the flashes coming from Victory Lane!

Have you noticed that the US Army banner ads sometimes still show up near the top of these web pages? Like right now, I am typing this post and looking at an Army Strong banner ad.

I wonder if Animink forgot to remove them of if the Army sponsorship doesn't run out until the actual start of the 2013 season in Daytona?

I know what you mean HH!

I spend money on Nascar apparel then all of a sudden.......your driver changes sponsors and you have to buy newer stuff! And, the new stuff isn't available till the season is under way!

Schmoopy, like the "positive"! Hope you are right....

Boy I sure hope so too you guys! Been waiting a long, long time................

This ol' guy's been following and watching NASCAR for sooooo long.

Have pretty much decided that when Ryan retires, I will too.

I'll probably take up sitting on benches and watching those young 40-50 somethings walking by.

Uh, I might not even wait for Ryan to decide.
