Race Team Alliance chairman Rob Kauffman said Sunday the rest of NASCAR’s full-time teams should soon be added to the group that is working on issues facing the sport. The RTA formed this month as an alliance of nine of NASCAR’s top teams. Kauffman met with other owners this weekend at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and says they are on board. The RTA wants to lower costs for NASCAR teams and create one voice on issues. ‘The stuff on the RTA side is actually going quite well,’ Kauffman said. ‘We’re just focused on doing what we said we were going to do. Get organized, get things done and try and be productive. Don’t expect a lot of PR and excitement. Just doing what we said we were going to do. We’re cautiously optimistic we’re going to make some good progress. There’s a lot of potential.’(Associated Press)(7-28-2014)
