Unfortunately this is true. I have a friend that works for one of the Mopar Pro Stock teams and he confirmed this yesterday.

They are just p.o.ed that they will have to back into their pit spaces.... among other stupid NHRA upcoming new rules.

You loose Jeggy and Vincent 2 of the best drivers in the class both leave for the GM camp so now your down to Allen and V Gains that's like bringing a butter knife to a gun fight it's not going to happen just like quick runner said pro stock has killed itself . Would much rather watch the new drag pack cars then pro stock

Mopar will get more bang for the buck advertising in something like women's volleyball than sponsoring a NHRA car !

Didn't AJ already hint at retiring a little while back? Could have added to the decision.

iagree Or little league baseball.


I never expected Jeggie to stay with Mopar, when he switched they were the fastest horse in the game. When he saw that changing he left, nothing new for him. He has no brand loyalty and the money he brings to the table is leverage to get him in a fast ride.

Wonder if Mopar would've stuck around if they would've gone to the past rumored format of factory supercharged engines?

Pro stock need to die off and be reborn. No stock car comes with a 500ci big block.

Why would the factory sponsor this crap.

You're not. I don't even bother watching anymore.

Who's saying there won't be any Mopars in Pro Stock next year?

Cars dictate the sport, as in the past, not top management. Look at Nascar, what a mess.

I've always liked Pro Stock. I disliked the politics of the different engine sizes back in the 70's. I thought when they went to 500 inches and 2350 lbs, all would be good. I hated it when they began to modify the bodies and eventually let them use carbon fiber to make everything look the same. I don't like that they all have those dumb looking noses with a spec overhang or that they're able to trip the finish line beams with them. I think everything should take the stripe with whatever they staged with, but that's a different subject. I hate to see them go, but maybe it's time.

NHRA needs to kill it and either fill the slot with Pro Mod or come up with a small tire class because those cars can fill the stands.

It's pretty hard to be brand loyal when they all look pretty much the same (that's why the mandated windshield band) and the drivetrain doesn't even resemble any factory offering.
