How can you contact NASCAR driver Ryan Newman?

Hi, my name is Joann Kirby. My grandson has CP. He is in a wheelchair with no use of his limbs. Can say a few words? He is big, big fan of NASCAR. His room is filled with things we have collected. He just went under a 11 hour operation and is recovering. I got a few people to send him get well wishes and some things he thinks it awesome. We try to get him all the support we can. If you could get Richard Petty or anyone to send him a card or picture, I would be ever so grateful. He is just a wonder child. We met someone last year who said they could customize his chair and fly him to a race. Also, to get him into Richard Petty's camp. They took pictures of his chair too. And we never heard a word from them, so I have been trying to make it up to him. And he gets so excited over everything I get him from NASCAR. Thank You, my grandson's name is Christopher Bravette, address, 24 Forest Hill Drive, Voorhees, NJ 08043. You could send an e-mail at joannkirby.com with a simple greeting. I would very thankful. God Bless! Grandma.
