Richard Petty Motorsports (RPM) announced today their race operations will move from their current location in Concord, N.C. to Mooresville, N.C. at the end of the 2014 NASCAR race season. RPM’s new address will be 112 Byers Creek Road located inside Talbert Pointe in Mooresville. This location was the home for Richard Petty’s race teams from 2007 to 2008.
The return to the former location is an expansion of space from the current race shop, allowing for growth in the race operation and further opportunities to increase performance capabilities. One immediate performance capability, the new shop will allow for RPM to hang bodies onto the chassis. The team will also have additional space for engineering and simulation.
“We needed a new location that allowed for more space to increase our performance,” said Brian Moffitt, Chief Executive Officer, Richard Petty Motorsports. “We continue to invest into the race operations to better ourselves on the track. It all starts in the race shop and having the best resources and assets. That’s what this move will allow us to do.”
The new site will be the home of RPM’s two NASCAR Sprint Cup race teams and Nationwide Series team.
“We’re moving back to a place that we have been before and really liked,” said Richard Petty, Co-Owner, Richard Petty Motorsports. “It’s familiar to us and we know it gives our employees the tools they need to prepare our cars to win. This is just another improvement that we’re making to move the race team ahead.”
