Here’s what A. J. Allmendinger, driver of the #43 Best Buy Ford Fusion had to say after announcing he’d signed a new contract with RPM for 2011 and beyond.
I feel like this is a place that I can just keep building on. We are definitely not where we want to be … right now, but I see the potential and want to keep building a team around me that continues to get better and go out and contend for victories every weekend and hopefully eventually get a championship. That is the goal.
It is something that I thrive on and excites me every day to know that I can be the guy. I have the confidence in myself to know I can lead this team and represent it to the best of its abilities.
Hopefully, when people think about Richard Petty Motorsports, they think about me as the guy and the leader. It pumps me up to think about the opportunity to be the spearhead to take this team to a lot of victories and eventually a championship.
