He's driving where he gets some support. After all the winning and development he has done with Gen 2 and then the national records in the Gen 3 Hemis you would think "Mopar" would give them some support. Nope, BES got the contracts on the 354 Drag Packs and everything else this year. Barton is just showing those idiots how stupid they are.
Mopar to the bone!!!

Pretty much been Mopar's MO for years. Give money to Chevy guys, let true Mopar guys go to hell.

Penske: Thanks for sticking with us and winning us a Championship, but Allen Johnson: ditto Viper Tudor team: ditto TA2 Trans Am series team: ditto basically if you kick a$$ with their brand, they find someone who costs more and wins less......or only support NHRA popularity contests.

A man has to decide if he's going to be satisfied being a purist and/or a starving artist or will he change with the times and go where the money and opportunity is. I guess Dave and his family like to eat. It's not 2004 anymore.

The AH and other class legal stuff has to have Mopar numbers on it except for some Edelbrock heads for wedge motors. Can't be mad at Barton for not supporting Mopar. More like the other way around.

Racers race..........the badge on the side doesn't much matter to them. Who didn't see this coming when they(Bartons) had been working on a COPO? There are quite a few Guys that race/drive different makes.

Also I think gm and ford from a corporate stand point are more user friendly than chrysler. My $.02. They are, look at the number of customers. Money talks

Didn't see much complaining when Wescott, who had always run Chevy, decided to try his hand with the HEMI Yep, and he sold parts and made money at it. When the Hemi stuff started to fall off, he parked his and went in a different direction. The Factory Stock stuff is a big deal now and Barton jumped right in and is doing well. It has to be easier parts wise, less time and labor intensive, with combinations that haven't been beat to death for 40 years. And I'm sure the line of customers with FS cars is a lot longer than the AH line these days.

Well I see David Barton won his 3rd in a row driving a Chevy.I guess these day's you just drive what you can win in! Part of drag racing's ( and other racing venues ) demise. It's all about $, personalities, and coming in third, winning. Pretty soon you won't be able to find "loyalty" in the dictionary. From a technical aspect, everything has been engineered down to - - - ONE BEST. Only thing to change it would be a rule change.
