Richard Petty Motorsports led the news this week as the team switched the #44 and #43 crews in an attempt to shake up performance. The plan had been in the works for some time. Dale Earnhardt Jr. also made headlines late this week after he criticized the Car of Today and suggested NASCAR needed to do more to improve its performance.
