Well, I don't know what else to say...Indy Car racers and their teams love Newells...they have some newer ones and some that are getting toward the classics (early 2000's)...these days most don't travel in them...they have coach drivers that position them at the tracks/events...in the 70's thru early 90's many racers drove their own coaches to all events and actually stayed in them overnight.
Today they are a nice place to get away from it all in between their obligations to the team/sponsors/press...plus racing. Most all major motorsports drivers stay in hotels during events...and jet to and fro

Did that answer you question?

Tony Kanaan didn't win at Texas (came in 3rd with a late race pit strategy) but Penske driver Helio Castroneves
who has a very nice late model Newell did win...
