Please check if there is a Pod named newdriver in namespace default by running kubectl get pods --namespace default --show-all. You probably already have Terminated or Completed Spark Driver Pod with this name left from the previous runs. If so, delete it by running kubectl delete pod newdriver --namespace default and then try to launch new Spark job again.
