Re: Chrysler eyes returning to NASCAR
I noticed a Dodge - Dart, I think, running in the Xfinity Series races last season. I seem to remember the driver was not American. Aussie, perhaps? Maybe testing things out. The car did OK on the road coarse tracks but was lost on the ovals.
I also heard somewhere that Honda might do this, too. Didn't make sense to me until I remembered that Acura is a Honda brand. All forms of racing need badge diversity. Lack of it is killing Pro Stock.

Re: Chrysler eyes returning to NASCAR
Be tough for the teams to race those cars when Chrysler tells them they have no spare parts to sell them. " But here is a hat and poster, thanks for choosing Mopar.

Re: Chrysler eyes returning to NASCAR
If they won't dedicate the necessary money and resources to 3-4 Pro Stock teams, any NASCAR team that signs with them is asking to be raped.

I'm thinking Sergio will want to race a FIAT 500 or an Alfie. He seems to want to promote the Italian cars more than the Chrysler cars. Maybe he can start a "Buy a FIAT, get a dozen cannoli's" promotion. Leave the FIAT, take the cannoli's. Or maybe a tray of meatballs?
