Following the recent difficulties Richard Petty Motorsports (RPM) have had to face with the bankruptcy of Chrysler, Richard Petty himself admits that his team is considering all options for next year as its contract with Dodge expires at the end of the season.

The seven-time Sprint Cup champion said his team is open to talks with anyone interested in supporting the squad's long-term future.

"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 way out there," he said.

Petty's outfit is running a four-car operation, which also includes Dodge Chargers for Reed Sorenson, Elliot Sadler and AJ Allmendinger.
