Closest would be 1972 when Mike Fons won Pro Stock in a Dodge, and Petty won Nascar in a Plymouth. '71 was Ronnie Sox in a Plymouth, and Petty in a Plymouth. 1970 was Sox in a Plymouth, and Bobby Isaac in a Dodge.

EDIT: Richard Petty won in 1974 with a Dodge, and Larry Huff won AHRA with a Dodge.

I think they are gonna start again when they have the money to reinvest in another engine program. A year off is whats been said. It took a Dodge to finally get Penske a championship and that isnt gonna be taken litely by anyone. They pulled support from the Truck series after back to back championships so its nothing new. Maybe they will put some money in their Gen III Hemi program for you and me.....


Mopar to the bone!!!

How do you come to that conclusion??

Ford throws insane money at Penske to switch,and who else is out there for Dodge to have as a contender for the cup races next year?? Furniture Row? Who else? I wouldn't spend or throw money to any team unless they would be a serious contender for the championship,and Dodge saw none that were avalable,so they said no.Don't think that's stupid,I think it's smart.

And Dodge/Mopar won 3 championships with Jack Beckman winning funny car.

I just watched the last NASCAR race. Congrats to Brad Keselowski for bringing a Dodge to the Championship!
So few Dodges run each week, it is amazing that a Dodge won the season championship.

I hope Dodge/Mopar will get back in the action after their planned absence next season.

Awesome, I`m not a big Nascar fan, I really wish Nascar would have done more to keep the Dodges in for next year. I used to watch some of the truck races when the Dodges were competitive and winning it was cool. Congrats to Penske you had a good /competitive/ Winning Dodge I hope all the money Ford threw at you was worth it! Go Mopar !!!

My hope is that truck load of money that went to nascar goes pro stock racing. Also I am sure there was some pretty sharpe engineers work with Penske. They won't have far to go get to Greenville.

Penske alluded to the fact that Dodge may be back in Nascar as soon as 2014.

Roger also stated that it was a full season "not even 1 Dodge engine failure".

It seems all the announcers talked about were Brad and Penske ,Dodge ( mopar )was an afterthought. That means more than any driver or owner. Brand affiliation, I could care less who drives! He will jump ship at the drop of the hat.
