Three of the city's greatest sporting names are deliberately not profiled here, because this history keeps one full telling of each life. Ryan Newman — born and raised in South Bend, a LaSalle High School graduate who took an engineering degree from Purdue in 2001, eighteen Cup Series wins, fifty-one poles, the 2008 Daytona 500 and the 2013 Brickyard 400, a survivor of the 2020 Daytona crash and the 2023 SRX champion — stands in Famous People, and his racing record belongs to the Racing record besides. David Stremme, born and raised here and a veteran of some two hundred Cup Series starts, likewise stands in Famous People. Skylar Diggins's profile is there as well. And the boundary that governs the whole of this record bears one last statement: Notre Dame's own players, however great, are the university's, in the unincorporated community of Notre Dame, and belong to the football and university records — the men and women above are here because the city itself, by birth, by schooling, by formation, by play or by a chosen life, can prove its claim on them.
