I like the elevation changes. The concrete provides a different type of racing for us because the track doesn\u2019t change a whole lot. Once you get your car right, you can keep it right for the rest of the race. And for me, for whatever reason, I\u2019ve always adapted well to racing on concrete. To me, the characteristics of the track make it both demanding and fun. It\u2019s really unique how you drop off into the corners and then climb up the hills onto the straightaways.<\/p>\n<p>At Dover, the entry into the corners is the toughest part. If you don\u2019t get a good entry, you\u2019re not going to have a good middle or a good exit. You have narrow straightaways and then the track opens a lot in the corners, so there\u2019s a good bit of give-and-take. To me as a driver, it\u2019s just a track that\u2019s a lot of fun. It\u2019s a challenge. If you don\u2019t like a challenge, you don\u2019t like Dover. I really look forward to racing there. It\u2019s fast, it\u2019s demanding. I like the banked racetracks and it\u2019s one of those.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"newmanstate2\" src=\"http:\/\/tireball.com\/nascar\/files\/2013\/09\/newmanstate2.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>State Water Heaters will also be on Newman&#8217;s car at Martinsville in October.<\/p>\n<p>Sponsorship news was big for Newman this week as Quicken Loans confirmed previous reports that they would follow the 35-year-old driver to Richard Childress Racing next season.
