Considering he obliterated the former track record Thursday, Ryan Newman's qualifying setup at Lowe's Motor Speedway is obviously stellar. And considering he paced Happy Hour practice, it seems his race setup ain't so bad, either.
Problem is, his engine is suspect.
It didn't blow, but according to a team spokesperson, there are problems. A final decision on whether or not to change motors won't be made until Sunday.
Newman's 29.227-second lap (184.761 mph) bested Jimmie Johnson's effort by less than a tenth of a second in a practice that saw three Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolets in the top-five.
