As far as the Dodge part, there were some Charger bodies at the NASCAR R and D center in recent weeks just according to hearsay. It was not on the podcast. Why? I don't know. Just a wait and see I guess, but the rumors won't die.
A good chance. I think Aric's already checked out, however rumors have popped in the last week the 43 will be a Chevy next yr out of RCR and a Dodge when RCR shocks the racing world by 2020 and leads the Dodge return. Those rumors aren't dead.
I don't even consider the Fiat part, if people can accept toyo, then just get over Fiat!! My family has owned mostly mopar my entire life. Not a bad one in the bunch.
Your point?? He is in charge now. It was a poorly written piece with nothing new except for a quote from someone who would not go on record. A a writer myself if you can get someone to put their name on it it means more. I did not read it as a never no way no how proposition. I read it as a...
That says very little. It does very little to dissuade me from thinking they will be back by 2020. Which should coincide with the Gen 7 car. There are no official quotes from Sergio in the article. So I wouldn't give up just yet.

And that would be fine. I just find it hard to buy a car or lease one from a competitor, then take a factory engine which they all do that, and win a race with a competitors car. Takes a little away from the whole thing.
I just don't like the idea of sat teams. If you can't get the job done alone then walk away. Petty stopped building htheir own cars at the end of 2016 for the record.
The only reason Penske is on board with the Woods is because his driver is in the seat. And he will be taken out and put in the third Penske ride if sponsor is found. Penske would not help any any competitor unless there is something in it for him.
