Newman endured his first winless season in 2006, finishing a career-worst 18th in points, while his longtime crew chief, Matt Borland, left for Michael Waltrip Racing. His pole ratio between his rookie year and 2006 was one in every three races, tying him for fifteenth on the all-time poles list. In 2007, despite a streak of three consecutive poles, Newman again failed to win a race, including a near win at Lowe's Motor Speedway that was spoiled by a blown tire.
In his debut season with RCR in 2014, Newman impressed the field by turning what was to be a year of rebuilding into a championship-contending performance. Only one point separated Newman from the coveted Cup title and signified a career-best finish in the Cup point standings for the 37-year-old race car driver.
