By: Eric Johnson | 19 hours ago

Richard Petty Motorsports hit reset for its Cup campaign. New car, new tech partner and – key to it all – new driver, Darrell “Bubba” Wallace Jr. It’s a learning curve, but momentum is building.
In your first start as a full-time Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series driver, you finish second in the Daytona 500.
Second start, you’re only 32nd in Atlanta. Then 21st, 28th, 20th and 34th – that last one coming at Martinsville Speedway, a track you’d won at twice in the Camping World Truck Series. Ouch.
But for Darrell “Bubba” Wallace Jr., newly-installed in Richard Petty Motorsports’ storied No. 43 for the whole 2018 campaign after a four-race “dress rehearsal” last year, and the guy owning that run of results, the positives far outweigh the negatives. RPM is a team that wants to succeed; it’s made a bunch of significant changes to help it move forward; and in Wallace, it’s confident that it’s found a driver just as motivated and equipped for the journey ahead.

With RPM in a reset mode and Wallace still learning the nuances of Cup, he knows it could be a season of ups and downs. (Image by Kinrade/LAT)

“We still have bugs to work out, and we’re still trying to figure out what our car wants and what it takes to be super-competitive,” says the 24-year-old Wallace. “But I’m excited about where our team is headed and the direction we’re going in. We just have to pick up the pace a little bit more, and that’s what we’re working toward. I’m just enjoying my time here and loving the challenge.”
Wallace replaced Stewart-Haas-bound Aric Almirola at RPM, but hasn’t climbed back into the Ford Fusions he drove when Almirola was out injured in 2017. Instead, RPM’s major reset includes a switch to Chevrolet’s new-for-2018 Camaro ZL1 and a technical alliance with Richard Childress Racing. Everybody, from “The King” down, is on a steep learning curve.
“Moving from Ford to Chevrolet, our challenge is that we don’t have the car to give to Bubba to really get him up there yet,” says Petty, “But we’re working hard on that part. Even though he’s been racing all his life, to this form of racing, he’s still a rookie. Second time around at these tracks, he’ll have an idea of what he’s really looking for. But if we can get him a better car, it’ll be a big help. So far, we’ve all seen what he’s had to work with, and right now I’m going to blame the car. He’s doing his job. We’ve got to do ours.”
Wallace refers to himself as something of an open notebook. With so much coming at him at once, he’s thankful to have seven-time champion Petty in his corner.

“It’s been great with Richard,” says Wallace. “He’s given me so many words of wisdom and so much advice. He wants to see his car winning; he knows we’re not where we need to be right now, but he has this vision and he wants to stick with it.
“When we’re running bad, he’s the guy pushing us to make sure we get back on track, and when we’re running good, he’s the first one to come and congratulate us. He’s put a lot of faith and effort in me to be one of the guys leading this from the front, and that means a lot.”

In RACER Magazine: The 1981 Eagle - ‘An Upside Down F-16’

In RACER Magazine: The 1981 Eagle - ‘An Upside Down F-16’

sharetweetemail

By: Paul Fearnley 5 hours ago Dan Gurney’s favorite Indy car was the 1981 Pepsi Challenger, or the Eagle 8100, to give it its official nomenclature.A year earlier, Gurney had turned designer John Ward loose, and the result was a radical, striking piece that didn’t look like anything else in Gasoline Alley – and didn’t work like anything there, either.While others went the conventional ground-effects route, based on venturi tunnels under the car, Ward, plus Trevor Harris, egged on by Gurney’s no-holds-barred mindset for innovation, conceptualized and built a twin-vortex generating body shape which energized flow over the rear wing (aided by exhaust flow – how ahead of its time was that!) and produced significant downforce. Significant.“Dan was all in on getting answers and not at all concerned with conformity,” recalls Ward. “The ground effects or BLAT [Boundary Layer Adhesion Technology], as Dan liked to call it, was inspired by the shed vortices on the top of an F-16 fighter jet wing, which could fly at extremely high angles of attack, hence BLAT. If you turn an F-16 upside down, you have the ’81 Eagle!”

Ward made some refinements for 1981 and the 8100 was even zoomier as Mike Mosley stuck it in the middle of Row 1 at Indy, out-pacing the turbo Cosworth DFX hordes with a stock-block Chevy V8.“Dan was extra proud of that engine and it was a great month because I think we surprised a lot of people,” says Ward, who’d created a tenth-scale wind tunnel, complete with rolling road, at Gurney’s All American Racers shop to accelerate their learning curve. “And he was proud of our team – I think we only had 15 or 20 people at AAR and we did the car and engine in-house. Dan loved that car. We all did.”After an engine failure at IMS, Mosley went from last to first and lapped the field to win at the Milwaukee Mile – the final victory for AAR in open-wheel competition and the last time a stock-block pushrod engine scored a victory in Indy car racing.“It was a great car on an oval and a great car on a road course,” said Gurney back in 2013 while poring over photos of Geoff Brabham and Rocky Moran leading races in 1981 at Riverside and Watkins Glen, respectively. “Then the bureaucrats took over and ruled out our car.“An American car with an American engine that won a single race and they were scared of it, so they arbitrarily threw it out. That stuck in my craw for a long time.” Ward will always treasure his time at AAR with The Big Eagle.“Dan so was so curious about how things worked,” he says. “He would always ask the right questions to make you think and he made us feel like we could do anything.” Get the full version of this story in the 2018 Heroes Issue of RACER magazine, on sale now.
