Before turning to NASCAR, Ryan Newman was already a successful driver in the United States Auto Club (USAC) with victories in the Silver Crown, Sprint Car, and Midget divisions of USAC. Besides that, Newman also flaunts the 1999 Silver Crown Series championship.
The following year, Newman made his one-race Cup debut, before entering the Xfinity Series in 2001. For eight years till 2008, Newman drove the number 12 Alltel/Mobil 1 Ford Taurus for Roger Penske and amassed 13 wins and 43 poles.
In 2009, Newman joined Stewart-Haas Racing. In 2013, he won the prestigious Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. He switched to Chevrolets in 2014 as he joined Richard Childress Racing with crew chief Luke Lambert. That same year, he finished second, closely behind Kevin Harvick in the Cup Series championship race.
Newman made the 500th start of his NASCAR Cup Series career the following year at Darlington Raceway. After having claimed a win, 63 top 10s, 19 top fives, and having made three playoff appearances, Newman signed a multi-year deal with Roush Fenway Racing (now known as RFK Racing).
However, a major crash in the 2020 Daytona 500 sidelined him from competition. The South Bend Indiana native stayed away from driving cars for the entire 2021 season and didn't race a single Cup Series race in 2022. He returned in 2023 with a part-time schedule in the Cup and the Xfinity Series. This year, he has announced to drive full-time in the SMART Modified Tour.

Newman's zeal to race has found its way into the very core of his elder daughter and it has been that way since she was 4. “I can’t teach her car control,” Ryan says. “She’s got it in her butt, in her genes, in her blood and in her mind,” said Newman about Brooklyn.
The 12-year-old prodigy is a regular Box Stock racer at three famous dirt tracks in North Carolina; the Millbridge Speedway in Salisbury, the Woodleaf Raceway Park in Woodleaf, and the Mountain Creek Speedway in Catawba.
