The only thing that has recently blown up in RCR is tempers & wheels. I think their engines are fine.
I do. ONnly because of how well he has done two years in a row in lower tier equipment. He's been through the ringer the past few years.. I think giving him a Hendrick engine is going to be very good for him.
The HMS chassis and R&D is definitely a big step up for Kurt.
harvick had 4 wins, how many did RFR racing have?? how many did penske have, oh ok RCR nearly equaled the wins of both companies together. thats against the famous yates power. you guys place too much stock in how much difference an engine makes. pocono, michigan, california and of course the RP tracks thats about the only place you can see a difference in motor. if we are talking motor differences and you wanna throw in like say a triad motor compared to a TRD engine in the cup series. ok there your going to see a difference.
While I do agree Hendrick had the best equipment right now, let's not overlook the equipment Kurt was in this year. Kurt drove RCR equipment and had all the resources that Harvick had.
Yeah.. and with Tony being the teacher.. Kurt wont get fired for it this time.. should be fun to watch.
Huh? Paul Menard blew up during the Pepsi 400 this year while running 3rd.
Sure... with a one car team vs a 3 car teamYou do know that Harvick and Busch had the exact same equipment this year right?

The alliance includes technology sharing, engineering, research and development provided to FRR's No. 78 Chevrolet from RCR.Besides engines, what does FRR get from RCR?

Prety sure that RCR and FRR produce their own. Someone will be along to correct me soon I imagine.It sounds pretty much like the same deal HMS has with SHR.
Where do RCR and FRR get their chassis's?
They don't build chassis at Furniture Row because NASCAR certifies the chassis at its Research & Development Center in North Carolina. But beyond purchasing chassis from RCR, they do everything else at the shop, which virtually overflows with parts and pieces.
Thanks FL, that'll get'em going.

Yeah. Steward Haas gets their chassis and engines from Hendrick and RFR gets theirs from RCR.I thought that Stewart Haas bought their chassis' too . They only hang the sheet metal , do the tires , suspension ,etc., at least that's what I recall hearing .
It's not just reliability, it's performance. Like sliced toast said, RCR is the only engine builder doing it themselves. They are probably dwarfed in money spent by HMS, RoushYates and TRD's engine programs.lol One?
