Ryan Newman Quotations

It was quite an experience, but I was glad to be able to help out. Once we put it out it kind of re-lit itself. The fire department got there really quick, but I think a lot of our initiative slowed it down before they got there and it didn't get any bigger than it was. It was just good to be part of something that was good.

It was being at the right place at the right time. You can call it lucky if you want to.

The point that should be driven home, if we have repeat offenders or the situation happens time and time again with a certain individual, there's something more should be done than suspension.

I locked the brakes up and got into the wall, but there was no way to miss the crash. It's typical Phoenix off Turn 4. When one car gets spun, everybody does.

I know first-hand that I didn't intentionally hit him and I was really shocked,

It definitely helps to have the acting experience going into singing, because when you're singing, you have to portray the emotion you were feeling when you wrote the song. They're the same thing, in a way; it's expressing your emotions through words.

We can't just finish in the top five now. We've got to win races. Winning a couple of races would be awesome, but even that wouldn't guarantee us the title.

The cautions played to our benefit tonight, and we were in the right place at the right time. You can call it lucky, but the Alltel Dodge was good.

I think a lot of Jimmie Johnson and his talent and stuff, but I'm pretty sure at least three out of his last four (wins) ... have had (issues) with the cars being illegal.
