CHARLOTTE, N.C. — NASCAR legends Bobby Labonte and Ryan Newman, along with modified driver Jonathan Cash, will be behind the wheel of Sadler-Stanley Racing powered by Pace-O-Matic’s No. 18VA (No. 38VA for NASCAR Whelen) and No. 39VA, respectively, during the upcoming modified season.
14 SMART Modified Tour races are on the schedule, with Newman racing the majority of them, as well as four NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour races.
Cash is scheduled for five SMART races, while Labonte will pilot all races on the schedule.
SS Racing announced their new partnership with Labonte, a NASCAR Hall of Fame driver and 2000 NASCAR Cup Series champion, in November.
Newman’s announcement came shortly after in January, with team co-owner Hermie Sadler stating Newman, the 2002 NASCAR Cup Series Rookie of the Year, could “win at any time, on any track.” Newman previously raced for SS Racing three times last season.
“Our driver lineup is second to none this modified season, and we are thrilled to have two champions on the track for SS Racing powered by Pace-O-Matic,” said SS Racing Co-Owner Bill Stanley, a Virginia State Senator and owner of The Stanley Law Group. “Cash made his debut for us last year at Hickory (Motor Speedway), so we’re looking forward to welcoming him back, too.”
“This is going to be an exciting season for fans of open-wheel modified racing,” said Sadler. “We’re counting down the days until we can watch Bobby and Ryan hit the track as teammates for SS Racing, and take this sport to the next level.”
