Steve Newmark brings NASCAR mindset to UNC athletics, acknowledging it will make some uncomfortable
Posted Aug 27, 2025
Steve Newmark grew up in Chapel Hill, rode his father’s shoulders during the 1982 NCAA championship celebration on Franklin Street, and once got permission to skip a college exam to watch the 1993 Final Four with his family. He calls his passion for Carolina sports "an unhealthy obsession," one that has shaped his life from childhood into adulthood.
