Dodge Leaves NASCAR
Quote:
Who do you think will replace them as fourth manufacturer, if any? I see Hyundai, Nissan, Honda, or Kia. Here's the full article: http://www.racer.com/dodge-set-to-an...=NTAxMzU1MTkS1 |

Dodge never really had a high amount of cars/teams like Chevy or Ford (or Toyota). Also, I don't think they invested in the sport as much as the other manufacturers. And for Dodge's A-Team (Penske) to jump ship made things a lot worse. It is disappointing they are leaving considering they have the best looking 2013 car.
There has been no word of a fourth manufacturer and there probably won't be one. But I am sure Dodge will return to NASCAR in the future even stronger (and with a capable team). |

What about Pontiac, when they coming back? Do they still exist, does Oldsmobile & Buick still exist?

Without a major team like Penske, JGR, etc it doesn't make sense for Dodge to continue in NASCAR.
Are teams still allowed to race with a Dodge in Cup, Nationwide and Trucks? Or is the Dodge logo persona non grata after this season. |

As for cup? Nope. New bodies next year, and that development effort was to be handled by Penske. With no teams, it's DOA for the moment. |

Nissna Altima (Cup)?
Nissan Altima Coupé (N'wide)? Nissan Titan (Trucks)? But to be honost I don't see any manufacturer joining NASCAR in the near future. |

FAS33! I have been reading this forum for many years and have never wanted to post till now! Dodge(RE CHRYSLER) have been the most succsesfull car ever in the history of NASCAR! They had to change the rules to stop the HEMI from winning and give the others a chance!The KING Richard Petty, the most winningest driver of all time raced Chrysler products nearly exclusivly during his carreer! So how do you think that Dodge was useless! I suspect you are one of those Bow Tie fans? Dodge leaving Nascar is one of the saddest days of Nascar! I hope that this is not the writing on the wall for Nascar!

Maybe Chrysler have relized NASCAR is no longer "the good ole boys"
as they now compete against the japanese! Who will be next to jion? Korea? (hyundai or kia) Who will be the next to leave? Ford Australia is slowly leaving V8 supercar! Will Ford be the next to leave NASCAR? |

If the Falcon gets dropped, they can use the Mondeo / Fusion.
Back to Nascar, having three manufacturers isn't bad, but it's dangerous because they are one away from two. |

And looks like they will leave 2012 on a winner...
Amazing... they should have threatened to leave a few years ago... |

After Dodge missed the first two tests for the new car, it appeared that they would be missing the third one. At which point, NASCAR told them that if they didn't show for that one, to not bother showing up for anything else. Hence why we saw the mad dash with a week to go where they were trying to help get RGM or Furniture Row enough funding to purchase the Penske engine shop and become the defacto dodge program. It didn't work out, and now they're done for 2013. At this point, I imagine they'll have a program for 2014 in place. |
