Richard Petty Motorsports (RPM) and World Wide

solution provider, announced today an extension of
their official partnership that began in 2018 naming
WWT the Technology and Analytics Partner of RPM.

continue to provide RPM with data analytics, consulting
and technology solutions. This past season, WWT
embedded a team of its data scientists within the
organization to analyze information to optimize the
team’s performance on the track. The result was a
one-of-a-kind, proprietary dashboard used late in the
season by the team. Showcasing improvements early
on, initial results included a seven percent increase in
Average Running Position, a 10 percent increase in
Average Finish, and improved strategy decision-making
by the crew chief and race engineers. Additionally,
the dashboard featured artificial intelligence (AI) for
visual data classification and combined more than
five data sources onto one screen for improved
data visualization, allowing for better performance
comparison (e.g., tracking speed against the other cars).
FOLLOW ONLINE WWT and RPM will continue to develop this and other

technology solutions in 2019 to compete and win on
the track. New features in 2019 will include the addition
of deeper analytics functionality to the application,
expanded AI to gather and analyze visual data, and
