Mopar Announces Initiatives to Support NHRA Racers in 2017

I can only imagine that it's a business decision made by Mopar. "Let's see, we can support (read: promote, market) 50 year old cars, or we can support (again, promote, market) what we make now."
I really doubt they're out to get the racers that run older cars. I can only guess that they will reach a LOT more potential buyers (and form their buying habits until they get old) by using the latter strategy.
I'm an "old Mopar" guy, and I wouldn't expect the factory to support older stuff unless they had a lot of money to burn.
A bit off topic, but, I think the NHRA can't wait until the "old" cars and racers are out of their hair! But by then, the Drag Packs will be old too. Then what?
