Ryan Newman has decided that family and business shouldn't always mix and the Stewart-Haas driver has a new spotter for the 2010 season.
Greg Newman won't be up on the spotter's stand for the No. 39 car this year. "It was very difficult at times for my dad and I to have a father-son relationship at the race team versus a competitive relationship at the race track," Ryan said. "I guess you don't really understand that until you work with family in a very stressful position, as it was with him. Ultimately, my dad has done a great job as a spotter, and I look forward to him being at the race track in the capacity that he enjoys." Newman's new spotter will be Jimmy Kitchens, a former driver who made 47 starts in the then-Busch Series between 1994 and 2005. -NASCAR.com
