Newman said in preseason interview that he wanted 39 cause he raced it as a kid ...The 4 was to be the second car but as the beam stated the4 would have been a gamble and Ryan got to choose a throw back to himself.
So you're saying that the car number is officially 204, but it will just have 4 on it during racing--almost like an abbreviation of the "real" number??
yes. its kind of like how robby ran the #155 in the nwide series. but on the car it was just 55. The #204 is the official number for the owners points.
no convicted and but for his "ailment" would have served a LONG sentence. Prosecutors DROPPED the conspiracy and 13 counts of money laundering charges as part of a plea agreement when Hendrick admitted to giving cash to a Honda executive mainly becuase they believed he had alimited time to live...and made it home confinement for a yr versus jail time
