Ryan Newman to make first NASCAR Xfinity start in over a decade
Ryan Newman, a 45-year-old veteran driver, will be participating in the NXS race at Homestead-Miami Speedway later this month. He will be driving the No. 66 MBM Motorsports Ford Mustang, sponsored by GenerX Generators. Newman has had a few starts in the Cup series this year with Rick Ware Racing, finishing as high as 27th in the Southern 500. Despite his success in the Cup series, he hasn’t raced in NASCAR’s secondary division since 2012. Homestead is a track Newman is familiar with, having won there as an Xfinity driver in 2005. Team owner Carl Long believes Newman’s addition will elevate their organization, and they are thrilled to have GenerX Generators as a partner. The No. 66 machine has had different drivers throughout the season, with their best showing being a 23rd-place finish by Sage Karam at Texas Motor Speedway. In 2024, Hailie Deegan will move up to the NASCAR Xfinity Series.
