I just listened to Newman's alltel racing podcast and a fan asked him what makes him nervous. Newman said not his wife flying helicopters, but at track crashes and fires because he can't control them. I geuss that makes sense.
Newman's crew chief Mike Nelson said Ryan's in Canada fishing...which probably helps take his mind off racing.

anyways if you wanna listen to what else newman and nelson have to say go to alltelracing.com
