"I just concentrate on helping the team," he said

RICHMOND, Va. -- Ryan Newman knew his car had failed inspection following the Sprint Cup race Sunday night at Darlington Raceway.He also knew his car had hit the wall during the Southern 500, but he had no clue how NASCAR would rule when it came down to determining whether a penalty was warranted for his team being outside the specifications for rear alignment.You never know anymore, Newman said Friday when asked if he expected the 15-point penalty NASCAR issued Wednesday. You hear things, you see things. Its hard to believe anything anymore, really [as far as predicting what will happen].The 15-point penalty to Newman has put the Richard Childress?Racing driver 22 points behind Jamie McMurray for the current final spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup heading into the regular-season finale Saturday at Richmond International Speedway.Newman has had 25 points in penalties this year, the first being a 10-point penalty for the team having illegal brackets in prerace inspection in February at Atlanta.McMurray starts fourth Saturday; Newman will start 15th.I just want to go out there and have fun and do the best job I possibly can -- putting everything else aside [such as] the rain-shortened races, the whatever kind of penalty stuff, Newman said.Its all about going out here and having fun and racing and trying to win the race. Thats what its all about. Weve been trying for 25 races now and Im tired of not winning, but it doesnt make it any easier to win when youre tired of it.Newman, who isnt new to being on the Chase bubble, said he doesnt feel he has to win Saturday.Ill do the best job I possibly can, and whatever else happens, happens, he said. Ive been here on the good side. Ive been here on the bad side.It just seems like Im always the guy everybody talks about come second Richmond [race]. Cheap Mariners Jerseys .
