Richard Petty Motorsports confirmed Saturday it had re-signed its current drivers in the Sprint Cup Series, Marcos Ambrose and Aric Almirola, for the 2013 season. Ambrose will enter his third season driving for the organization. He will again be behind the wheel of the No. 9 Ford. Almirola will begin his second season as the driver of the No. 43 Ford.
Ambrose has three top-five and eight top-10 finishes, including two victories at Watkins Glen, N.Y., during his stint with Petty.
"It's good to come
back to Richard Petty Motorsports and focus on our future together," said
Ambrose. "We had success this year and recently have made plans to get better
for 2013 and beyond. It was great to win at Watkins Glen, earn my first two
poles and also have the opportunity to make the Chase this year."
Almirola is
completing his first full season in the Cup series. He has one top-five and three top-10 finishes and won his first career pole at Charlotte Motor Speedway in May.
"We went through
some changes this season, but since being paired with Todd (Parrott) and this
crew, I've had the most fun I've had in a Cup car," said Almirola. "I think we
have a lot of things 'clicking' right now and have a lot of momentum heading
into 2013."
