Paul Newman's Racing Bio
Paul Newman first took an interest in auto racing while filming the 1968 motion picture "Winning", in which he played the role of an Indy 500 driver. He has since won several awards and recognition for his acting career, but has never gotten the racing bug out of his system. His first win was in 1972 at Thompson, Conn., in a Lotus Elan. While developing his skills as a sports car driver, he also competed in a modified stock car at Daytona. In 1977, he finished fifth in the 24 Hours of Daytona and two years later co-drove a Porsche 935 to second place in the 24 Hours of LeMans. Newman earned his first of four SCCA National titles in 1976 in the D-Production category. He also won titles in the 1979 C-Production class and was the GT-1 champion in both 1985 and 1986. His first professional Trans Am victory came at Brainerd, Minn., in 1982, and followed that up with another win at Lime Rock in 1986. Before joining Carl Haas as co-owner of Newman/Haas Racing in 1983, he fielded the likes of Danny Sullivan, Bobby Rahal, Al Unser, Teo Fabi, Keke Rosberg and Elliott Forbes-Robinson in the Can Am series. Newman has five children and resides in Wesport, Conn., with his wife Joanne Woodward. Courtesy IndyCar 95 Media Guide

    Paul Newman Opposes Developers ASSOCIATED PRESS
    EASTON, Conn. (AP) -- Paul Newman is donating $500,000 to help preserve land that developers want to turn into a golf course. The actor, who lives in the neighboring town of Westport, said the money would come from proceeds of his Newman's Own food products. At issue is a 740-acre tract owned by BHC Co., a water utility. National Fairways Inc. wants to buy the land and turn it into an 18-hole golf course and 103 luxury condominiums. "I've hiked this land," Newman told the Planning and Zoning Commission on Monday. "I think the developers are being very shortsighted. Fifty years from now, the people who worked to save this land will be remembered as heroes." Preservationists hope to buy the land for $10 million.
