Roush Fenway Racing has fallen on hard times over the last few years. The former leaders of Ford Racing have also fallen behind other Ford teams including Team Penske and to a lesser extinct, Richard Petty Motorsports. RFR feels that they are on the right track now. Time will tell.

Aric Almirola, the most veteran driver in the Richard Motorsports stable doesn't want to look at the past but has optimism for the future. After making the Chase in 2014 on his victory at the Firecracker 400 at Daytona, disappointment was obvious as he discussed 2015.

“What do I attribute to my success? It’s hard getting out of this business once you get in it," team owner Roger Penske said. "To me, it’s my day job on the weekends. We’re in this for one reason—to win. I will be at the races as long as I can stand up.

ROGER PENSKE, owner, Team Penske – HOW DO YOU CONTINUE TO STRIVE FOR MORE AND PUSH ALL YOUR TEAMS TO DO THE SAME? “I think once you are in this business it is so hard to get out and when you are dealing with the people we have been able to bring on our team for so many years in terms of quality and commitment personally and the sponsors and OEM’s, to me it is my day job on the weekends."

In a sport where business relationships are pivotal to being competitive, Richard Petty Motorsports (RPM) has shown great success, and with that, continue to improve on track. After a successful off-season on the business front, RPM heads into 2016 with a solid foundation while pursuing additional opportunities. The Mooresville, N.C.-based team renewed or expanded all of their current partnerships while adding new partners to their team.
