Race Pro Weekly reports that Newman has filed an entry for Bristol driving the Gary Putnam owned 7ny

Ryan Newman was never suspended from racing in the NWMT, he was only disqualified from the race. The car was never suspended from being entered in any race. I expect Newman and the 7 at Bristol and New Hampshire. All they have to do is change the name of the owner and crew chief on the entry form.

I'm sure they will be welcomed with open arms and mucho respect!!!!! I'm thinking NASCAR was trying to save that team collateral damage more than trying to punish them....lol

I wonder how much Gary Putnam "paid" Mannion for the car. I suppose Bono Mannion will "buy it back" after the suspension. What a scam. I don't think Newman knew the car was cheated up but probably figured it was deep in the gray area of the rule book. I would have liked to see him get into someones top notch extra car and compete on a level playing field. Looks like more stunk up shows to come.
