Still think some sort of partnership goes down. This sounds like an article that comes out just before a coach gets fired. Surprised it took this long for a denial to show up.

Should have given him a ceremonial checker rather than the black flag though.

My hunch is it is an affiliation. That way RCR doesn't park the 27. The 43 and 44 will be under RCR roof we will see in NASCAR allows that.

I thought that too...

Smithfield is holding the best hand in a high stakes pot is on the table.

Makes sense if your sponsor wants you out of your current .manufacturer..

Smithfield and Richard Petty Motorsports have been working on an extension and I don’t expect the sponsor to go anywhere. As for who will drive the car, Bubba Wallace appears to be the top candidate at the moment. Should RPM make a manufacturer switch, don't be surprised if the Chevy move is...

He was done last year. He should have walked away. He hurt himself quite badly and he can't cross the racer's edge anymore. Same thing happened to Kyle Petty after Adam's passing imo. Same thing happened to Tony as well. I think there is a good chance he would still be driving if not for...

Personally pulling for Bubba. Speculation here but he might be the reason that they look as if they are staying. They loved what they saw when he was in the car.

I would say they will be on the RCR 43 but nothing in stone yet. Could go either way. I feel that way based on last week's article alone.

Based on what I have talked to folks about no. That's all I can say. Smithfield holds the cards.

Yessir, those hero cards were even printed up as I remember it. Kasey even drove an xfinity race in a 43 Toyota at Charlotte. I try to forget that!!! LOL

I feel your pain. I have had to deal with the 43 being a Ford for the last seven seasons. If Gillett would've had his way it would have ended up a Toyota. As a fan of Dodge it was hard especially before they left. From RCR's perspective, they are never going to again be Chevy's number one...

43 to RCR in 2018, RCR to Dodge in 2019.

And the King saw no need to run in every series he could just to stroke his ego. I recall him running Winston West and Iroc, I don't recall him running Sportsman or USAC. I hope KP sticks up for his Dad cause Busch is an arrogant ---- fill in the blank that will never have Petty's impact.

As far as the Dodge part, there were some Charger bodies at the NASCAR R and D center in recent weeks just according to hearsay. It was not on the podcast. Why? I don't know. Just a wait and see I guess, but the rumors won't die.

From a podcast, Door, Bumper, Clear.. I think it is called

A good chance. I think Aric's already checked out, however rumors have popped in the last week the 43 will be a Chevy next yr out of RCR and a Dodge when RCR shocks the racing world by 2020 and leads the Dodge return. Those rumors aren't dead.

None of that really concerns me. As long as what we buy works for us its all good and I will not turn my back on them. Loyalty is everything to me.
