Mopar pride Monte, Mopar pride. almost 40 years for me and I'll NEVER change. I don't think Roy will either. Gooooo Mopar.
I have ran MOPAR for 40 years too,,,,you haven't seen my name in any headlines anywhere either have you??!! Larry Morgan has ran about anything that has a brand name on it and he is doing something different soon too..
If you like drag racing, support your local track.

As far as factory support goes, look what happened to Warren and Kurt. They are non existent

Something is going on because EE has been acting like she is the 2014 champion since 2013.

I still watch Pro Stock but I am loosing interest fast. Its not like the days of the factory wars as they are long gone and so is the Pro Stock car that even remotely looks like a factory car or has an eng in it with a factory part. I know thats the world we live in today with all aftermarket engines and all but it was nice when you could tell Sox was driving a Cuda or Duster and the eng actually looked like a 426 Hemi. I did love them days. Today to me most all of the Pro cars are like generic race cars as they all look the same and its hard to tell a GM from a Mopar. I used to enjoy routing for the car (Mopar of course) and not the driver when you could tell which one was the Mopar. But as was said the Mopars are usually still in the top half the field which means they have as much a chance to win as any Pro Stock car. Ron

Loyalty if fine, but Pro-Stock racing is a BUSINESS. If Mopar pulled the plug on AJ, do you think they would quit, or race out of their own pocket if another brand offered them a deal..........not likely on either count. These guys get paid to race and represent their sponsor. The money they win is chump change compared to the investment. All about sponsor dollars. Has very little to do with what YOU want to do. Has to do with what the SPONSOR wants you to do.
Who ever would have thought Corda would be racing anything but a Mopar, but here we are

Rumor has it that Yàtes salary was being paid by the lease money from Nobile. When he went away, no more money to pay Yates.
Ms. Enders may think she's the champ, but I bet there are some Gray cars that think differently.

I was told Corda switched because the parts just weren't easy to get. Another comment he made was it is much easier to tune from a laptop!

actually Monte AJ and family started and did race out of pocket for many years as they are Mopar enthusists. Would they continue in today's market.... who knows.
Of course they did, everybody started that way. I have pictures of Roy Johnson's car from the 70s, when my dad also ran Super Stock.............Modern racing, on the Pro-Stock level, and be competitive, out of your pocket......not a chance in hell
