Im with Mark Gruber, somethings up. I suspect theres more to the story, or maybe a different bombshells going to drop soon.

- Maybe Dodge told Penske theyre going to cut some support in order to help a new team?

Per Lee Spencers Twitter: Richard Petty Motorsports has been approached by Dodge.

Petty's cars are built by Roush-Fenway, engines supplied by Roush-Yates. It would require a HUGE investment by Dodge to ramp up a engine program in a very short period of time and also beef up fabrication capabilities with RPM.

RGM already has a small engine program in place and they also build their own cars. If I were Dodge, I would take a seriously look at investing in RGM since they already have much of the infrastructure in place. All Dodge is buying with RPM is the Petty name, IMO.

The whoring out of the Petty name is getting old now.

You'd think Richard would have run out of devils to sell his soul to by now.

Even if Dodge jumped on RGM for a full ride RG would still have to have the $$$$$$.

Dodge will find another multi car team. RGM will still get the shaft...

Can we revist the posts from the Daytona race page questionning why Penske won't help RGM and why Dodge won't step in to help RGM get a Penske engine? Guess we know why now!
