Newman/Haas Racing is distinctive not only for its record on the track but for its owners. A successful motorsport driver from 1953 through the early 1960s, Carl Haas has compiled an outstanding record as a team owner over the past four decades. In 1983, he joined forces with Paul Newman, the distinguished actor who began a second career -- auto racing -- in 1972. Newman’s enthusiasm for the sport grew out of a 1968 motion picture titled “Winning,” in which he played the role of an Indy Car driver. In real life, Newman recorded one of his most grueling and historic victories when he won the Rolex 24-Hours of Daytona in 1995 at the age of 70.
