Ryan Newman won't drive the No. 4 for Stewart-Haas Racing next season after all. Tony Stewart, who'll co-own the team and drive the group's No. 14 Chevrolets in 2009, announced on his Sirius Satellite Radio show Monday night that he is changing Newman's car number to the No. 39 for next season, a Stewart spokesperson confirmed. The switch comes three days after Stewart formalized plans at Michigan International Speedway for Newman to compete with the No. 4. Stewart offered two reasons for the change: The No. 39 is special to Newman because he won his first United States Auto Club midget race with the number, and Stewart wanted to leave the No. 4 available to its long-time carrier, Morgan-McClure Motorsports, should the team return to the Sprint Cup Series next year.

Good Morning,
I want to personaly Denounce Floatman
for what he is,( a lier and a fraud )
this fellow asked 2 times to be added
to my friends list which I did,he sends
fanmail asking where I have been as of
late,( family problems ) then turns
around and slams me on th T & R
with the remarks below,,I'am setting
the record stright = I'am NOT
reporting anyone on here at all,I'am
Not a self professed Moderator,
anyone who truely Knows me, knows
I'll argue with you all day long, If
I know I'm right..Sorry to bother
you good people with this but
I had to speak my peace.
Thanks
I leveled with you about my personality and what i do a while back. When they swarm to their buddy's rescue next time read the initiatin argument and you will see the true origins. If i am at fault so be it, but if it is with the DR then I will guarantee you all the groupies will jump in and point the fingers at me. And to make this PERFECTLY clear, I NEVER once reported anyone. You know how I roll...I love confrontation so why would I want it to stop? (((SLY is the one who has reported EVERYONE because he thinks he is the board police and is asst. moderator))). Read back some and see what I mean....there are 3 people that consider this board theirs and everyone else is just a guest and therefor WRONG in any post they make.

Wow T&R in order to have more NASCAR stories you just rewrite another one from the day before and put a different title on it.

August 20, 2008  09:26 AM ET

Copy and Paste, someone did a job on you SLY1, but its ok, it will all come out- I'll be right here when it does.

August 20, 2008  09:28 AM ET

This wasn't news yesterday when they ran it. Who cares.

August 20, 2008  09:36 AM ET

HaHa, so I shouldn't be talking to you Preacher, because you and I are the same!
Good Job!

August 20, 2008  09:55 AM ET

Jackman, I'm getting dizzy looking at that avatar.

August 20, 2008  10:01 AM ET

I didn't think Morgan McClure had any importance. Wow.

August 20, 2008  10:37 AM ET

Jackman, I'm getting dizzy looking at that avatar.

Pretty wild huh? I cant believe the soap opera this room has become. Think I will take a month off till the role players clear out, (as they always do).

August 20, 2008  10:48 AM ET

Not directed at you long timer Sly...its the multi user names, petty argument BS. Fills this board up with non-interesting material. Talking is cool as I like most dudes, but the he said she said reminds me too much of work.

August 20, 2008  11:04 AM ET

Jack, I appologize dude. I don't know what crawled up Bloat and set him off. I can assure you I have had nothing to do with the multi-user thing or the reporting. It seems I come in here and get called out everyday. As you can read, I post about the topics until the crap starts again. Unfortunately I am not one to just let it slide. This goes out to all others that are just as sick of him as I am. Sorry all.

August 20, 2008  11:07 AM ET

Jeez - that caught me off guard. All is good. Shockingly your comments are right on most the time lol

August 20, 2008  11:21 AM ET

I agree with Jackman. Lets get back to the topics and the fun insulting jabs. If not we may have to sing Kumbya

August 20, 2008  11:36 AM ET

I try to start the ball rolling when it comes to a good conversation regardless of the topic Jack. Any one of the sorry topics that get posted can be branched off into something amusing. It doesn't always have to jump straight to Jr bashing....but sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

August 20, 2008  11:43 AM ET

Speaking of Jr...how about that showing at Michigan?? Grade A driving I tell ya. Someone of his "supposed" caliber should be able to make it back to the front regardless of a crappy pit stop. As long as you are still on the lead lap anything is possible.

August 20, 2008  11:56 AM ET

I guess he was bored running up front all day and decided to make a slight course correction....

After reviewing some historical data it seems that in fact Jr is not the only driver to have ever hit the wall...... .

August 20, 2008  11:58 AM ET

That could be....also maybe because Jeffy hit the wall and Jonson back in the pack he wanted to be nice and not show them up. Yeah thats it!!

August 20, 2008  12:07 PM ET

I would blame Goodyear for not producing a tire that holds up rubbing a wall at 160+.

 
August 20, 2008  12:07 PM ET

I apologize to everyone in here for my part in getting caught up with this guy.
I should have just kept my mouth shut and let him go on.
I will stay on subject in here, and deal with him on another level somewhere else.
