CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Winning poles is the easy part for Ryan Newman. Getting to Victory Lane is another matter. Newman's winless streak reached 59 races on Sunday when rain denied him a chance at victory at Pocono Raceway. NASCAR stopped the race seconds before Newman pulled alongside Jeff Gordon in a challenge for the lead, and he was frozen in second place.
Newman had about 30 minutes to wonder what might have been as he and Gordon waited on pit road for the rain to subside. It never happened, NASCAR canceled the rest of the race, and Gordon was credited with his fourth victory of the season.
Instead of lamenting his bad luck, Newman considered it karma.
