Andy Murstein, of Medallion Financial Corporation, the primary investor in RPM said, ‘This organization is clearly on the upswing and they compete and win with class. Now on to the Chase for Aric, and after Marcos wins at Watkins Glen, we will have two cars in the Chase.’ Murstein confirmed that RPM will remain with Ford beyond this year.(Motorsport)(7-7-2014)
UPDATE: If you have a winning formula, why change it? That was the key reason for Richard Petty Motorsports to remain with Ford beyond 2015. ‘I think that’s a good decision for us right now,’ said Trent Owens, the winning crew chief from Sunday’s Coke Zero 400 on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. ‘Changing manufacturers – from the workload side of things – would be a challenge to say the least. I’ve enjoyed being with Ford. I’ve enjoyed working on these race cars and we just really need to perfect what we’ve got and that will allow us to do that.’(Motorsport)(7-8-2014)
