Will they convert to a 14 and invest in a 450 or just run their cars in the class in which they choose to run in Stock Eliminator? Since the shootout is only contested at 3 events per year it's not that big of a deal I guess.

Mike - I'm sure the GM brass didn't want to make any of the '12 or '13 cars obsolete but you're right - they were O for 4 last year and I'm sure they'd like to fix that as the whole point of being involved is to win races -- kinda like the old attage "win on Sunday / sell on Monday" .Both Ford and Mopar have ringers in this game and Chevrolet wants an equal playing field .Their new 450 might give them a chance for a Sunday Wally ..........Who remembers the runner-up ?
