Why would Dodge come back every time thay find some thing and win, thay get penalized. thay did it with the Hemis back in the 60s and thay did it when thay won with the last car. Nascar evean made them run a biger carb to use more fule so thay could not win on milage, evean though thay could run as fast or faster than the outhers. So why would Dodge want to come back.

WoL or your local dirt track has get racing every night where there are still a few Mopars out there. (Probally why if I had to cheer for a NASCAR driver it will one that started driving a real round track car and made thier way to the top. Kasey Khane, Tony S. Dave Blaney. Not one with a father that has an endless bank account)

Why would a "successful"car manufacturer go backwards to build an antiquated design engine when you can build a more efficient better designed cylinder head with twin cams Gus GM's LS family seems to still be doing well for such an antiquated design. and the fact that toyota spent so much money making a pushrod V8 just to go racing speaks volumes. Remember when NASCAR went to Japan and raced there? A few of the teams sold their cars to some well funded engineering firms to reverse engineer the cars and start construction of their own engine of course making it better and more fuel efficient. And just another bit of inside info here,Toyota tried to buy NASCAR but were outvoted by the stock holders(I heard by one Toyota rep that the vote was closer than you think)So they did the next best thing,they put up quite a sum of cash to sponsor some races as long as they could play too. So when Fiat joins up in NASCAR with an Italian based cylinder head is that going be OK with you "AMERICANS" As long as it's German or Italian it's OK to be UN-AMERICAN sheesh what a bunch of hypocrites Gus why do you race and old dinosaur with outdated technology, when you could be racing a cutting edge toyota? 526 cubes of angry wedge, pushbutton shifted, 9 passenger killer!

I just said that same thing to the wife on saturday and she is not a huge fan but doesnt understand the foreign manufacturers running and not Dodge. Hopefully they will come back next year. I guess some of us are old school and like the big 3 running 416 stroker from Nick at Compu-flow. 11.14 in full street trim. Seems like a new best every time out. 11.06 open headers----so far!!
