ST. LOUIS: World Wide Technology (WWT), a market-leading technology solution provider, and Richard Petty Motorsports (RPM) announced today an extension of their official partnership that began in 2018 naming WWT the Technology and Analytics Partner of RPM.
As part of the extension, WWT continues to be a primary sponsor of the No. 43 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 team and will be a major associate sponsor throughout the 2019 season. In addition, WWT will 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).
