Stewart-Haas Racing adds Outback

Stewart-Haas Racing is adding yet another sponsor to its lineup on the No. 39 team driven by Ryan Newman, The Observer and ThatsRacin.com have learned.


Outback Steakhouse, a restaurant chain based in Tampa, Fla., will serve as primary sponsor on the No. 39 in at least two Sprint Cup Series races in 2012, multiple sources said.


A formal announcement of the sponsorship addition is expected Friday at Phoenix International Raceway.


The organization recently announced the addition of sponsor Quicken Loans for nine races on the No. 39 next season.
