#9-Marcos Ambrose plans to be back with Richard Petty Motorsports in 2013 and beyond. Although a formal contract has not been signed, Ambrose said Friday at Kansas Speedway all things are headed in the direction for him to remain with RPM. ‘We are all squared away as far as what the expectations are on both sides and it is just a matter of finishing it off at this point,’ said Ambrose. ‘I can ‘t see any reason why I wouldn ‘t want to be a part of Richard Petty Motorsports in 2013. There are a lot of good things to look forward to.’ Ambrose has had an average season behind the wheel of the No. 9 Ford but is confident changes made with the race team, including installing Mike Ford as his crew chief, will lead to better days. Since the change at the crew chief position was made earlier this season, Ambrose believes his team has headed in a positive direction. He hopes to build on that foundation.(CBS Sports)(10-20-2012)
