Allmendinger & The King Exchange Words

AJ Allmendinger, owner Richard Petty exchange words at Daytona - ESPN

Not a good idea to walk away from your boss like that, he is rumored to be the target of a 4th JGR maybe this pushes him towards leaving RPM after this season? I wouldn't blame him either, who would wan to race there?

It's pretty clear that he will be gone after this season. Sadler can sell sponsorship, but that's about it. Kahne will be gone. I see AJ jumping ship, also. That team is going to be questionable for next season.

the team has been questionable since May 12, 2000. it's been sad to watch, quite honestly.

Well the only thing is that before the season started they tried to release Sadler but he threatened legal action and they decided to keep him in his ride. I'm not sure they bring him back either, another thing that is stupid all their drivers' contracts are up at the end of the season.

I wonder if Menard will look around too, like you said RPM could really cease to exist after this season. Your flagship driver is gone in Khane and Bud is leaving, AJ potentially could be gone, they already don't like Sadler, and Menard can't carry the load either plus he could be attractive to teams since he brings sponsor money.
