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.

I would guess that AJ would retire... but him and his dad might keep the engine business running... just a guess... best of luck to both of them for what ever they end up doing

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

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

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.

A class full of Camaro's will be Pro Stupid. 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.
