WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (AP) — Richard Petty Motorsports has signed AJ Allmendinger to a multi-year contract extension.
Allmendinger says he talked to several teams before deciding to stay put because he likes the potential he sees in his No. 43 team and doesn’t want to start over with another team.
The 28-year-old Allmendinger, who joined RPM late in the 2008 season and is in his fourth full season at the Cup level, also says he likes the relationship the team has developed with Ford.
Marcos Ambrose has been rumored to be headed to RPM. Petty just smiled Friday during the press conference at Watkins Glen International and said future announcements would be coming.
