Steve Newmark to leave RFK Racing president position this summer

Steve Newmark — who has led RFK Racing in NASCAR Cup Series since 2010 — announced he will leave his position as team president this upcoming summer to join UNC’s athletic department.

During his 15-year tenure, Newmark has guided the team through various changes — including restructuring and rebuilding under Brad Keselowski. Currently, RFK Racing operates three full-time teams with Keselowski in car No. 6, Chris Buescher in No. 17, and Ryan Preece in No. 60.

“I’ve been incredibly fortunate to work alongside so many amazing people at RFK Racing over the past 15 years. It has been a true privilege to learn from and represent Jack Roush and John Henry,” stated Newmark.

“RFK Racing extends its deepest gratitude to Steve Newmark for his remarkable leadership, vision, and steadfast dedication. Steve has been instrumental in shaping the culture, growth, and success of our organization,” read RFK Racing’s official statement.
