He embodies what we stand for each and every day.” ‘Quicken Loans has been an integral member of my team and I am very excited to have them join me at Richard Childress Racing, as we continue to build on what has been a fantastic partnership’ Newman said. ‘My relationship with Quicken Loans goes beyond driving their car. Ive gotten to know them and their business, becoming friends with them in the process. As they know, I will do my very best to perform on and off the track next year and well beyond.” Quicken Loans will remain as the primary sponsor of Newmans #39 Chevrolet fielded by Stewart-Haas Racing for the remainder of the 2013 Sprint Cup Series season.
