Newman putting together impressive streak

NASCAR Nextel Cup Series drvier Ryan Newman has three straight top-10 finishes and can make it four in a row for the first time since 2005.
His streak started with a ninth-place finish at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama. He followed with a sixth-place finish at Richmond International Raceway. At Darlington Raceway in South Carolina, Newman finished fourth.
"We've been running really well the last few weeks and it's showed at the end of the race," said Newman, driver of the No. 12 Dodge for Penske Racing. "We're bringing a good car with us to Charlotte this weekend."
For the Coca-Cola 600 at Lowe's Motor Speedway, Newman's team is bringing the car it raced at Texas Motor Speedway, Las Vegas Motor Speedway and Atlanta Motor Speedway. He posted his first top-10 finish of the year with the car at Las Vegas and won his first pole of the year with it at Atlanta.
"We've improved our finishes each of the last three weeks and it's just a matter of time before we get this Alltel Dodge back into victory lane," Newman said. "We'd really like to do that this weekend in front of all of our family and friends."
