Furniture Row Racing will put the finishing touches on its technical alliance with Richard Childress Racing this week. A meeting is scheduled on Friday between principles of the two companies in hopes to strengthened the single car operation at FRR and in essence create a satellite fourth car for RCR.
“While the team may look the same on the outside, eternally we’re much stronger,” said Joe Garone, general manager of Furniture Row Racing. “One of the assets with the alliance with Richard Childress is our ability to be secure in the top 35. “During the last quarter, we decided we needed to run the full season. Around May or June, we realized how much it hurt us not to run the full season. We can race on the Furniture Row sponsorship, but it wouldn’t allow us to expand to a second car. Our primary goal is to have the #78 team run at 100 percent efficiency.”
FRR will continue its partnership with Kevin Harvick Inc., with the pit crew. FRR contracts the over-the-wall crew who work at KHI full-time and pit Harvick’s Nationwide Series cars.
