Right now it is easiest to use NetworkManagerDispatcher for this.

1) As root create the directory /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d  
2) In that directory create a new file called staticroutes or whatever
you like.
3) You script should be something like this.

#!/bin/bash

if [ -x /usr/bin/logger ]; then
        LOGGER="/usr/bin/logger -s -p user.notice -t
NetworkManagerDispatcher"
else
        LOGGER=echo
fi

if [ ! -x /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-routes ]; then
  $LOGGER "script /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-routes missing or
not executible"
  return
fi

if [ -n $1 ] && [ $2 == "up" ]; then
  $LOGGER "adding static routes for $1"
  /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-routes $1
fi

4)  Chown the script to 700
5)  Make sure that NetworkManagerDispatcher is running

	chkconfig NetworkManagerDispatcher on
	service NetworkManagerDispatcher start


I think that should be about it.,
