Fifth-Place on Bristol Dirt Newman finished fifth in the Food City Dirt Race at Bristol Motor Speedway Monday afternoon. Impact The first Bristol dirt race of the modern era would produce an interesting mix of experienced dirt racers and drivers with very little experience on dirt at the top of the finishing order. Newman's dirt racing roots helped propel him to a great finish Monday at Bristol. He started in the middle teens of the grid and moved quickly into the Top 10. Newman would collect a pair of Top-10 finishes in the first two stages. By lap 250 he would cross the finish line with a strong Top 5. It was Newman's first Top-5 finish of the season.
