Ryan Newman is already confirmed with Roush Fenway Racing for the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series season. However, there was still the hurdle of sponsorship to take care of.
In good news leading up to the season, his primary sponsor Guaranteed Rate extended its contract with the no. 6 car of Newman.
“We are excited to have Guaranteed Rate back on our Ford this season,” said Newman. “They came on board last year and were really a strong presence for our team down the stretch. They are a great group to work with and I look forward to building on the program in 2021.”
