The Ryan Newman Foundation

(Nashville, TN - January 12, 2007) Ryan and Krissie Newman attended the Second Annual Sound & Speed Festival on January 12 and 13 in Nashville, TN. Friday night the Newmans attended the VIP Gala and Auction. Saturday morning, Ryan Newman appeared at the Gaylord Entertainment Center for an autograph and Q&A session with the fans. The greatest success of Sprint Sound & Speed, Presented by SunTrust, is the impact it has on the charities it supports: Victory Junction Gang Camp and the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum. In 2006, with the support of the sponsors, NASCAR drivers (including Ryan Newman),
country music stars and attendees, $300,000 was donated.

Ryan and Krissie Newman showed their support for the charities in a big way by bidding $39,000 for a beautiful vintage Les Paul electric guitar autographed by country music legend George Jones.
