RPM may race Ford in 2009

Kasey Kahne is using the "older" R5 this weekend at Dover. RPM officials are hoping to get an R6 in the car next week at Kansas. RPM's other two drivers, Reed Sorenson and AJ Allmendinger, have used an R6 this year, and Allmendinger could find himself with a Roush Yates engine by the end of the season. RPM is planning to switch to Ford next year as part of a planned merger with Yates Racing, and RPM would like to race a Ford if it can before the end of the 2009 season. Scene Daily
