In good news leading up to the season, his primary sponsor Guaranteed Rate extended its contract with the no. 6 car of Newman.

“We are excited to have Guaranteed Rate back on our Ford this season,said Newman. “They came on board last year and were really a strong presence for our team down the stretch. They are a great group to work with and I look forward to building on the program in 2021.”
