RICHMOND, Va. (Sept. 7, 2007) Ryan Newman, driver of the No. 12 Kodak Dodge Charger, qualified fourth for Friday night's Emerson Radio 250 at Richmond International Raceway, making the Busch Series race the third consecutive event in which he has started in that position.

Last week at California Speedway, Newman qualified his Busch and Cup cars in the fourth position.

We have a good car and these guys have done a great job getting the car ready, Newman said after posting his 21.429-second, 125.997-mph lap. Were out here to have fun and hopefully, get this Kodak Dodge into victory lane. This is our last Busch race of the season and wed like to go out with a win.
