It’s NASCAR’s off season and the rumors are flying faster than the field at Talladega. The latest involves the recently unemployed Kurt Busch and Richard Petty Motorsports. According to the rumor, which below the surface could be more speculation than actual fact, RPM will release current driver AJ Allmendinger and give the famous number 43 seat to Busch.
Busch was released from Penske Motorsports earlier this month after his latest tirade involving ESPN pit reporter Jerry Punch. NASCAR fined him and Busch apologized of course. But the damage had been done and on the heels of several other incidents involving Busch’s angry outbursts, Penske and sponsor Pennzoil had had enough and Busch and the team made the ‘mutual’ decision to part ways.
This week Richard Petty Motorsports Chief Operating Officer Robbie Loomis told a satellite radio show that the team has an interest in Busch. MORE>>>
