Ford Racing – RPM & RFR Notes from the NASCAR Sprint Media Tour:

the first stop on the final day of the 2013 NASCAR Sprint Media Tour was at the hotel where Ford drivers from Richard Petty Motorsports and Roush Fenway Racing talked and met with the media: Some notes from Twitter world Roush on working with Penske: ‘They have a dramatically different car than our car. The underbody and the suspension doesnt relate.” Robbie Reiser promoted from general manager to vice president of competition at Roush Fenway. Roger Penske says his teams main contact with the RFR is Robbie Reiser. Jack Roush said hes looking to put Trevor Bayne in a Cup car, full-time for the 2014 season, depending on sponsorship and driver performace. Roush Fenway Racing had 9 sponsors up for renewal entering 2012 who are back. There is sponsorhip available for #17-Stenhouse. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. was asked directly whether he is dating Danica Patrick. He said he preferred not to talk about his personal life. Smithfield Foods will expand the number of races it will sponsor the #43 to 25 races. Marcos Ambrose shaved off his bushy beard he sported at testing. (from many Twitter reports/feeds)
