About this work

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – 2008 Daytona 500 winner Ryan Newman sits behind the wheel of a crawler-transporter at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. Unlike his winning race car, the maximum speed of a crawler is 2 mph unloaded. Newman is visiting Kennedy in honor of NASA's 50th anniversary and the 50th running of NASCAR's Daytona 500 in February. NASA presented Newman two green racing flags that were flown last February aboard space shuttle Atlantis' STS-122 mission to the International Space Station.
