Wallace was outspoken last year about the team lacking enough funding, although Murstein said that potential sponsorship deals will allow for more funding next season.
“We have new sponsors and are about to announce yet another new sponsor shortly which will give us the ability to even spend more money next year and have a car that will be competitive with anyone,†Murstein said.
With the better on-track performance, RPM also is looking better to potential free agents, and it’s no surprise that Murstein has started to get calls about whether the car is available.
Murstein said he has offered Wallace a “huge†pay raise for next year.
The team took an unfunded race at Martinsville and worked with Wallace to put the Black Lives Matter hashtag on the car as well as other messages about love and compassion that Wallace wanted.
