Ryan Newman stepped away from the NASCAR Cup Series after the 2021 season, one year after his terrifying crash at the 2020 Daytona 500. Newman didn’t compete in a single Cup Series race during the 2022 season but returned in 2023. The 46-year-old driver has now been linked to a possible return in 2024.

According to Motorsport.com’s Nick DeGroot, Newman is one driver who has been tied to Rick Ware Racing and the No. 15 Cup car. The entry is one of two chartered cars that do not have full plans announced for the 2024 NASCAR season. As for Rick Ware Racing, the No. 15 team has been used for part-time drivers over the last several years.

The organization has been taking steps in the right direction, so if Newman wants an opportunity to race at the highest level, this would be a good one. Newman ran well in his eight races for Rick Ware Racing and would help grow the program. With the 2024 Daytona 500 coming soon, an announcement about the entry should be nearing.
