Richard Petty Motorsports considering move to Toyota?

The King was meeting with representatives from [Toyota] at Richmond? According to multiple sources, Richard Petty Motorsports [#9-Ambrose & #43-Almirola] is contemplating leaving Ford when its contract expires at the end of this year. One sticking point, however, could be engines. TRD currently has the capability to provide eight teams with engines. Although there are only three teams from Joe Gibbs Racing and three from Michael Waltrip Racing exercising that option, who's to say that either of those operations isn't considering expansion in the future. Without TRD engines, a partnership with Toyota isn't nearly as attractive. After having your cars powered by Roush Yates engines, Triad would certainly be a step down

Ha. You just beat me to it. If I hadn't tweaked my last paragraph or so, I would've beaten you. Gotta work on my pit crew and editing skills this weekend.

Schaefer: It's not just for racing anymore.

This was also the talk when RPM was leaving Dodge but they went to Ford instead. If I have learned nothing else about this world of racing, however, is that money talks, especially talks loud and clear to the Pettys. Be that as it may, I will not pull for a Toyota even if Richard returns to drive it.

What a change! It's been awhile since I've checked in and I'm quite surprised. It may take me awhile to figure it our but first look it's really great.

Me too! After 60 years of being a Petty fan.
