Oscar Mayer and Ryan Newman Bring Home the Bacon; Advance to Playoffs

Oscar Mayer and NASCARtm driver Ryan Newman will race into the postseason in sizzling fashion with a hunger-inducing paint scheme during the South Point 400 this Sunday, September 15 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

For the seventh time this season, Newman will pilot the No. 6 Oscar Mayer Ford Mustang. Newman will kick-off the 2019 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series playoffs sporting a mouthwatering scheme that features slices of tasty Oscar Mayer bacon ? his favorite food on race day.

"We're gearing up to cheer on Ryan as he puts the spotlight on the gold standard of bacon, Oscar Mayer, while embodying the gold standard of racing," said Matt Riezman, Associate Director for Oscar Mayer. "We've had a lot of fun celebrating our love of meats throughout the season and wish him the best of luck to bring home the bacon this weekend in Las Vegas."

For nearly 100 years, Oscar Mayer has been dedicated to setting the gold standard of bacon by providing a superior quality, great-tasting product that cooks up perfectly every time. The brand believes that quality meats are a right, not a privilege, and bacon is no exception. Oscar Mayer pride itself on delivering superior quality, great-tasting meats across the entire portfolio, including bacon where we offer Naturally Hardwood Smoked, Fully Cooked, Turkey Bacon, and more.

The South Point 400 extends the season-long partnership between Oscar Mayer and Roush Fenway Racing into the postseason.

"We're excited to have made it to this point and secure our well-earned spot in the playoffs," Newman said. "Now the plan is simple: go have fun and continue to put our best foot forward during this three-week stretch and the result will play itself out. We were able to test at Las Vegas back in the preseason with the new package, so we have some good notes heading into the weekend. We're looking forward to the challenge in our Oscar Mayer Bacon Ford."

Newman has an average finish of 15.9 at the 1.5-mile track with nine top-10 and four top-five finishes. He has crossed the line 13^th or better in five of the last seven races at LVMS, including a ninth-place finish in this race last fall.
