Just kidding folks........well in todays society of sue someone now maybe not.

Ryan has been doing some sophisticated scientific burn rate analysis on driver's suits. (gotta use that degree for something) Seems his Simpson suit ain't quite up to snuff......

In an attempt to stay ahead of things, Newman has switched to a new fabric in his race clothing after testing samples with a blowtorch outside his hauler at Daytona two weeks ago.

"The brand that I switched to is made by Ringer," Newman said. "It is called CarbonX. It lasts about 120 seconds with a blow torch pointed at it. The Simpson material (Nomex) lasted about one second before a hole was burnt through. The math is pretty easy."
 
Glad to see he's putting his college degree to work. Let's just hope he doesn't start the motorhome on fire.
 
you know...thats good to know that drivers are takin things in their own hands.........maybe Ryan can get other drivers to change to that type of uni if its that great..
 
Pretty bad Ryan is smarter than Nascar's safety experts!
