Newmark is a former shareholder at the law firm of Robinson, Bradshaw and Hinson and is a newcomer to the team, having joined its ranks back in April, as senior vice president of business operations.
"I spent my first six months on the job visiting with as many of our partners as I could -- at races, at their offices, with their CEOs and marketing officers, seeking to understand their businesses and how as a race team we are delivering solutions, and what are the opportunities for us to do that better in the future," Newmark said according to NASCAR.
The new president is a graduate of the College of William and Mary, and the University of Virginia School of Law. Even if his direct involvement with the team is relatively new, he has been close to Roush Fenway for quite some time, having worked as outside counsel since 2000.
He is one of the artisans of the joint venture between Roush Racing and Fenway Sports Group in 2007.
"We are excited about Steve coming on board as our president," Jack Roush added. "Steve has a solid background working in all areas of sports and brings new ideas and insight into our organization. Importantly, he has been part of the Roush Fenway family for many years, beginning as outside counsel and then as head of our business operations this year.
