Ryan Newman '06 Preview:

Ryan Newman should easily be a top 10 driver in 2006. The "Rocket Man" is definitely the best qualifier in the entire field. His number 12 Alltel Dodge should find the Gatorade Victory Lane at least 3 times in '06. Penske South is due a champion, and Newman could get them there this year. The Alltel team should be better equipped this year when it comes to dialing in the car after qualifying. In the past this team has been able to consistently win the pole, but not finish in a strong position.
