Penske Racing South President Don Miller said #12-Ryan Newman, whose original contract ran through 2006, signed a three-year deal through 2009 with an option for three more years. In an active “Silly Season” of lineup changes, Newman said he was courted by Roush Racing but had no intentions of leaving Penske. “I never had any temptation,” he said. “I had teams looking at me for the first time in my career, and that was unique for me.”(Richmond Times Dispatch)(8-7-2005)
