Richard Petty says that the NASCAR Sprint Cup organization that he is a part-owner of is considering all of its options going forward, including its auto manufacturer.

Richard Petty Motorsports currently fields Dodges and is in the process of transitioning to the manufacturer's new engine this season. Dodge's parent company, Chrysler, recently reorganized under bankruptcy protection, and most of its assets were sold to Italy's Fiat SpA.

Speculation has been rampant that RPM could be considering moving one or all of its teams to Toyota.

Petty says it's too early to rule out anything at this point.

"I can't really tell you because I don't know," he said Tuesday during a national teleconference when asked about a potential switch. "I do know that we're looking at all options that we've got. We've been with Dodge all these years, and we don't really know where they're at. We're talking to Dodge. We're talking to anybody that wants to talk.

"Right now, we are in the process of trying to come up with what we think is going to be best for Richard Petty Motorsports not only in the near future but in the future of way on out there. So I really can't say anything about it because it would be purely speculation."

For his part, RPM driver Kasey Kahne is pleased with the progress the organization is making with the model. He won Sunday at Infineon Raceway in California and has seen promise with the new R6 engine in the pair of races where he has used it.

Kahne acknowledged that he has heard the talk about a manufacturer switch but says that he's just focused on performance issues.

"I've heard a lot of that stuff, too, so you hear it and you wonder. … As long as our Dodge engines are getting better and are strong, then I'm happy with them," he said. "That R6 is a good package. We need to keep working on it and building it. I would say I don't see us changing from Dodge, but a lot of things happen over there."

    Its coming because we all heard it in Infineon. Right after the win. It was said so that is why it is out here. They probadly didn't want Dodge to learn of the switch right now because they are still trying to get money out of them.

    Who is we all heard it? Dodge was there did they hear it? Apparently not. Maybe Petty put ear plugs in all the Dodge officials then made the announcement. Do you think Dodge knows now, or are they just writing out a check anyway?

    I suppose Richard Petty can go with whatever manufacturer he chooses, but I think he will lose long-time fans if he leaves Dodge. For sure, his mother did like her Chryslers! Of course, all any of us has to do is just listen to No. 2 & 3 and he will tell all of us just what is going to happen. I'm not sure if he is a photographer or a fly on the wall.

    Winning isn't everything it's the only thing. The great Vince Lombardi. Who is leading the truck series? Who is leading the Sprint cup series. So Petty will go to Toyota and Red Bull to Chevy. No matter what when you are 3 points out of the chase you have to be a fool to switch manufactures at this time.

    When you aren't getting the money from the manufacturer that you've got a contract with, you're open to running for any manufacturer that you please. If RPM decides to try out say Ford or Chevy (or Toyota, if you believe the rumors) do you really think they're going to jeopardize the one shot at making the Chase that they have by experimenting with Kasey's team? If they do that, not only would RPM have to be insane, they'd have to have no brains- it would likely drive Kasey FROM the team. Plus, with him being a pretty good driver who could land a ride just about anywhere, if RPM switches to Toyota, that makes Gibbs a pretty decent place to 'jump ship' to- they drive Toyotas.

    Richard can do whatever he wants with the team of his. If he decides Toyota is his best bet to win, then so be it, and good luck. If he decides to stay with Dodge, as the rumor is right now, then all the more power to him. If he says Ford or Chevy is his best chance, good luck. I honestly don't care what brand a driver I like drives for; if I like him, it's not because of what brand of car he drives, it's because of his talents, hot wife, or whatever the reason is behind me liking him, which is the way it really should be. Some of you make it out to be that Toyota is the devil and all this, but here's a little hint- Toyota makes a way better car in the US than those GM or Ford vehicles made in Mexico or wherever. I mean in my driveway is an 08 Ford F150 that was made in Mexico and Kentucky, but the Toyota my friend drives is 100% American. So who is the real bad guy?

    Chevelle I don't think you are going to get an answer out of Motor Mouth.

    I for one would love to see Kasey go be a team mate of Tony's, but I've also read somewhere on Jayski that Harvick was also a possibility to go with Tony..........I guess it will be who can bring the best sponsorship along with them.

    I agree that Kasey should finish out the year in the Dodge, why change horses in mid stream? Not a wise thing to do.

    Whatever Kasey drives or wherever he goes he will still be my #1 driver. I know that some say he is only an OK driver and not great, but when you consider what he has had to drive and put up with, I would say he is a great driver. JMO Even Tony said "The kid is awesome."

Win a race and go to Victory Lane and hint that your switching manufactures hoping a few pick up on it. I think Dodge just might pay up now.

    Dodge has to pay up, either willingly or via a judge forcing them to pay up. RPM will be leaving Dodge as I think Dodge is leaving Nascar. But the leave will probable take place sooner than later as bad feelings are obviously flowing between RPM and Dodge Motorsports. Something tells me Kasey will be with Stewart in 2010, taking the Bud logo with him. I will pull for Kasey even if he drives a Hyundai. That may actaully happen in the not so distant future!

    No matter what. RPM has to go to Toyota. Dodge owes them a bunch of money. When you have to lay off 9 good workers, and tell them if we can make this new deal you will all be back here working again that means the money is running out. Im sure that Dodge wont be paying up anytime soon or they would have already. here is the letter that RC sent GM on what they owe him. The big 3 are sticking it to all of them. http://gmcourtdocs.gardencitygroup.com/pdflib/938_50026.pdf

    It really does not make sense to switch this close to the chase. Especially when Kahne has been so verbal about his disgust in the equipment. If RPM is trying to run Kahne off they are headed in the right direction. It would possibly be a contract breaker as well for Kahne, so go ahead and make the switch. I will no longer be a Kahne or Petty fan, & I have the feeling Kahne will do exactly the same thing Stewart did, if the plans are not already in the works. I don't care who you are or what inside information you might think you have, not all information has been "spilled".

    NASCAR.com has clarifyed that Kasey will drive Dodge for the remainder of the year, and so will his team mates, now next year expect the transition, unless Dodge has the strength by then, to pull back in! I really hope they stay with Dodge. Whoever said something about Smoke visiting Kahne in victory lane the other day, you may be right, Stewart Haas has always been a favorite for my favorite to move to, that is if he decides to leave RPM! What ever decision you make Kasey, I will pull for you. Just don't drive a Found On Road Dead (Ford for all you who don't get this). I was about ready to boycott Jayski, because I couln't believe what I was hearing. He thinks everyone's going to Toyota, he's talking about Earnhardt Ganassi going to Toyota, because of the loss of Truex Jr. I don't know what to believe anymore. I will just watch the races!

    Over the years Richard Petty has raced Oldsmobiles, Plymouths, Fords, Dodges, Buicks, and Chevrolets. Through it all he has managed to keep a very large fan following. Personally I pull for the driver, not the car owner. The King is mostly there for his name anyhow. It's not his money paying the bills now.

And the deal with Todd starts this weekend with a RPM driver in a Toyota.I don't care what Drew says because he is just a PR person. As of yesterday Richard came on Moody's show and said all options are on the table. If they weren't going to do it, he would have said RPM wont be going to Toyota's and he didn't say that. And lets not forget that GEM was in a move before the merger to move to Toyota's and it basically fell apart because of Petty at that time. RPM will field Toyota's. Its just when will the switch take place.

    Here are the quotes from Richard and Drew yesterday......................................I told you Monday that there was a strong possibility of Richard Petty Motorsports fielding Toyota Camrys for driver Kasey Kahne, as soon as mid-August. Despite being confirmed by multiple sources within the organization, the story was immediately and categorically denied by RPM..................................
    Yesterday, team co-owner Richard Petty joined us on Sirius Speedway, and was asked whether the team had plans to field Toyotas later this year. He answered, “I don't really know. I don't think anybody knows right now exactly where we're sitting, what we're gonna do, (or) what's gonna happen three weeks from now, let alone the beginning of next year.”.............
    Just hours earlier, Richard Petty Motorsports spokesman Drew Brown responded to the same question by saying, “Richard Petty Motorsports has no plans to switch manufacturers in 2009 with any of our Cup cars. Our people plan to keep winning races with Dodge like they did Sunday and later this year put Dodges in the Chase."...........So the question still remains, who is running RPM?

As far as pictures, I don't know of one photographer that posts pictures they take at a race track. the number one reason is so people like you don't steal them and copy them. That is the reason that the 30 or more photographers at the track that take between 300-500 photos each don't post the shots they take. We make money off of them and they are not free for you.

    Oh, and your comment about about the police not using Camry's as police cars because the lack of HP. I hate to tell you but the Camry's V6 pushes 270 HP vs the same GM V6 that pushes 211. And the only reason they use American made is because they get a tax break and their donut loving fat butts cant get in them.

    The name calling continues to show your true self. You can't help it at all. You love to mention agent orange as if it was something vets got high on. I don't grill my wife as she is a busy Lady. She has wrote 100's of letters to congressman, senators, and the white house to spend more money on Walter Reed Army Medical Center. In my spare time I take Vets out for a day and let them enjoy what little life they have. Two years ago I took 3 Vets to Darlington, and we had a great time there. It's none of my business who you take pictures of or who you speak to, but it's not me, it's you or says you spoke with whomever. I have a life and I am proud of who I am and what I did. Before you make another sick comment on Agent Orange, please take the time to look it up. It really shows your lack of knowledge. You can continue to show your lack of confidence all you want.

    And back to your comment about Toyota lacking HP and not making a V8 for the consumer. First of all you don't stick a heavy V8 that's lacks HP in a car when you can put a light weight V6 that produces high HP. And Toyota puts V8s in the trucks and SUVs. Your way of thinking is what killed the big 3. The Toyota V8 produces more HP and Torque that its GM counterpart. The Toyota V8 produces 381hp with 401lbs of torque vs the Chevy at 315hp and 338lbs of torque. Plus the Toyota is a better built Truck and has a better interior.

    your problem is you don't know nothing about racing so you have to change the conversation to something else like peoples clothes and people glasses and anything else that doesn't pertain to racing. I talk racing 24/7 and the people I talk to know racing. I have been going to the races every weekend for more than 15 years. I can make a phone call and find out just about anything about anyone.

    I answered your questions. You said get a life I told you I have a life and what I do. You brought up my wife and I answered you and told you what she does. You continue to bring up Agent Orange, which is despicable, and an insult to all those who died from it. I am not the one who says I talk racing 24/7 you are. So when you are asked whom you spoke to, it becomes a question. As I said in one of the above posts... you show no remorse for any of your remarks which are insults to many Americans.

    The Ohio National Guard is just like the ARMY. That is why they have been in Iraq. Same difference. The ROTC building wasn't burnt down by the students. A BOTTLE. The kids that were shot weren't draft dodgers. They were UNARMED guys and girls. They were shot at over 300 feet away. How far can you throw a bottle. You loser, Don't talk to me about what happened there because it is a subject I know well.

If I make a comment on a driver or one team moving to another manufacturer I get attacked about smoking pot and inhaling Agent Orange. He makes it personal. I agree, lets talk racing. I won't stand for comments about Agent Orange as I had two of my best friends die from it.

    My whole issue with toyota is that they selected the market they wanted and advertise as an American made manufacture. General Motors, ford, and chrysler produced low volume vehicles such as disel power trucks, dules for heavy duty work loads. V8's to supply the police departments, and state and federal police, plus the vans used which plumper's, electricians, etc use. They are money losers, but produced to fill the needs of Americans in need of those vehicles. honda, nissian, kia, etc are no differnt they toyota. Lets have a fair playing ground.
