Feast of famine at Talladega for Ryan Newman
Ryan Newman - Stewart Haas Racing-39
May 1, 2013 - 7:25 PM ET

It shouldn't be surprising to see Ryan Newman cringe at the mere mention of Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway.

There have been times of feast or famine for the Haas Automation driver at the 2.66-mile superspeedway. In 22 races at the largest track on the Sprint Cup circuit, he has 11 finishes of 16th or better, including four top-fives and eight top-10s. It's the other 11 finishes that have been less than kind to Newman. Those are the results that have played a part in making his average Talladega finish 22.4, which happens to be his worst of the active tracks on the Sprint Cup Series schedule.-True Speed Communication
