I was in the stands for this race and was mainly watching the 70 car that Newman was driving for at 70 years old. I thought before the race that they had a sot with the driver lineup and they did.

Also an article about Adam Carolla and his Paul Newman race car collection:

Paul Newman is one of a very small handful of celebrities I wish I could have met - and it has more to do with his career as a racer and team owner in CART/IndyCar than it did with his film career. As an SCCA member and volunteer official I’ve met a few people who did have that opportunity - one of whom happened to meet him at his home track, Lime Rock, as a teenager.

She initially addressed him as Mr. Newman, as she tells the story, and asked him if he could sign her worker jacket. His reply, she said, was, “First, you can call me Paul. Second, don’t tell anyone I signed your jacket.”

Fun fact: I have a co-worker named Paul Newman. Based on his age, I think he was given the name before THE Paul Newman was THE Paul Newman.

I met Paul Newman and JoAnne Woodward once. I was with my ex-gielfriend and her kids at a famous hamburger/ice cream place in Connecticut. We were eating ice cream, when a Porsche drove in. Paul and JoAnne got out (dressed in a tux and a fancy dress) and went in to get an ice cream. They stopped and chatted with people. I told Paul that we were underdressed. (I was in shorts, ex girlfriend was in Daisy Dukes, her kids were in swimsuits.)

Paul might been a liberal, but he was nice.
