What does loyalty have to do with people who race for a living? It's about winning and you choose the combination that gives you the best chance of that.

People can speculate all they want on why Mopar gave money to this person and not this person. But the fact is WE don't know. It was a business decision. Maybe Mopar DID want Barton, but to get him was going to cost more than they were willing to pay. Racing at this level is BUSINESS, not a hobby

Most guys here, LOVE their Mopars and couldn't imagine being in something else. Most real racers really don't care that much about brands. If you read up, most of the "old school" guys chose Mopar originally because of the Max Wedge or the HEMI and thought they could win with it. And also Chrysler was heavy into racing at the time. So they chose Mopar NOT because of the brand, but because of equipment or opportunity. It's the same now
