Following the merger of Richard Petty Enterprises and Gillett Everham Motorsports the new team will be called from now on as Richard Petty Motorsports (RPM), capitalizing on the seven-time champion's marketability.

The two race teams agreed to merge earlier this month in a partnership that keeps the sponsor-strapped Pettys in racing. Reed Sorenson will drive the famed No. 43 Dodge for RPM this season.
