QUOTE WORTHY
Newman on Racing at Loudon:
“Loudon has always been a favorite of mine, and a place where we’ve been fortunate to find success over the years. I always enjoy getting in the modified up there, and on the Cup side it’s been a good track to me. We ran pretty well there a couple years ago that helped us get into the playoffs, so we know what we’re capable of, just have to put it together this weekend in the Guaranteed Rate Ford.”
