The Drive The possibility triggered much buzz around the NASCAR world including with Evernham, who fielded a two car Cup team between before departing as a team owner.
After Evernham closed his doors, Dodge continued in the sport until the end of the season when the manufacturer's business challenges forced an exit from NASCAR competition. You can't fault them because they had financial issues. The fact that they are looking to come back says they never really wanted to leave. The more manufacturers that put money into this sport and make our racing economy better, if you will, is better for everybody.
I'm hoping it happens. I am the guilty party at the table. We are in a different place now. I think we need to find the right way to come back in, but I agreed with both Jim and Lesa we would come back to the issue.
We continue to have on-going dialogue with a number of auto manufacturers about their interest in joining our sport. We look forward to exploration with them on this topic. The current NASCAR rules require race-car renderings for new models to be submitted by more than a year before they ever are raced on the track. The deadline is Oct. France discusses thrilling start to season, new manufacturer coming?
The low downforce [package], in combination with Goodyear producing a really good tire to match up to that, has given the drivers more of what they want and they're putting on one heck of a race. That finish was followed by a race at Atlanta Motor Speedway - the first with the new lower downforce aero package - that saw a record number of green flag passes for the lead But it was the end-of-race, sheet-metal crushing aggression displayed by both Harvick and Edwards at the end of the race that most impressed France.
Harvick did a great job. They both did a great job. We expect that. They've been an incredible success story for a car manufacturer looking to come into a sport that's very difficult to come in, compete and win every weekend. But there's an interest. And this is obviously the biggest opportunity in auto racing in North America. Not in , that's for sure. Otherwise Newman would be dead.
They have made it easier to identify the different manufacturers on the track, keeping the looks of the front and rear ends. One idea is to form and other series and leave nascar out to DRY!!! Daytonas, Superbirds, and Roadrunners.
Chevrolet and Ford were second tier and their drivers pitched a fit. Actually ford had their banned by nascar around the same time dodge had their hemi banned. Ford and dodge are the only two manufacturers to have been banned by nascar. Dodge fan Also, NASCAR got do Boring with them restrictions about banning some powerful engine, whats the point of racing if it aint about fast and strong, so disapointed about where it is right now, Not entertaining at all!
Then they switched to the Impala when NASCAR wanted to make everything fit the same template unfortunately killing the street version as well. Why restrick a brand for being fast? I think the whole plan of racing was to build a faster car. Instead of encouraging that, they decided to simply level the playing field for everyone… like giving every kid a trophy. The accomplishments of Penske in general, and driver Brad Keselowski in particular, are downright startling.
Even open-wheel champion Sam Hornish Jr. And under the leadership of Dan Reid and veteran publicist Denny Darnell, Dodge has gotten an equally disproportionate amount of publicity for what amounts to just two of the 43 starters in every Cup race.
Few teams are in a position to expand their involvement in the series, and those teams that are already have ties to another manufacturer. New Cars. Buyer's Guide. This car to many, was more than a car. In fact, it was a dominant powerhouse on four wheels and designed to own competition through every turn and straightaway at Daytona.
It was the Dodge Charger Daytona, and enthusiasts remember those days. This Dodge Daytona just made its way into the top 10! Dodge assembled its best and brightest minds when it set out to produce a car that would dominate at the Daytona
