Dodge to NASCAR?

Interesting....

I have heard Dodge would really like back in Pro Stock in a big way also.

However IMO they may direct those efforts to the new Factory Experimental Class.

Dodge said it wants nothing to due with pro stock they talked to NHRA about the class yrs ago and that’s why Allan and his dad pulled out because mopar said we’re done with pro stock and I don’t blame them it’s pro Chevy now they will focus more the new afx class and the FSS class

Probably one of the worst kept secrets in NASCAR - Tony Stewart will be appointed king pin if they return to NASCAR - For NHRA he will have the Top Fuel and Funny car program - just waiting on the sponsor announcement - That just leaves the FSS Dragpack cars for a factory team - my guess is there will be heavy factory support for a few cars in the class but no factory team - unless Schumacher keeps that going with a new driver for Leah's car - hard to replace that marketing machine she has become for Dodge

That was a long time ago, but your scenario is probably more likely.

Pro stock will be gone in 3 yrs

Would rather Dodge spend their money improving their product quality. A Dodge NASCAR vehicle is a Mopar like there’s a Toyota Supra Funny Car or John Force has a Chevy motor in his car since it’s got Chevrolet valve covers. A Factory Stock or new FX Mopar at least has some correlation with a Challenger that rolls down the assembly line.

The class has kind of recieved a boost in entries lately. However with a majority of the cars being owned by Elite and KB I don't know how that works out long term. Especially if Elite won't let anyone beat Erica.

Didnt watch the video

NASCAR = Cars Of Tomorrow

Was supposed to start this past year , but the Covid machine put that in the rear view mirror

So 2022 begins a new chapter for NASCAR
These cars will bee totally different in every way

If Dodge was going to make this happen , they have had plenty of time getting these Cars Of Tomorrow ready

Just dont see it happening without any support from Stellantis

So glad I got to see the Dodges run in the 2000's!

What with Covid20-21 and COP26 its a very tricky road ahead for Motorsport.

Would like to see MOPAR back in Pro Stock and back the lone MOPAR in the field!

If Mopar put any money in to Drag Racing, it will be the A/FX class

Mopar already told NHRA we’re done with pro stock

I hope so, I'd like to see them all in for the FX guys.

I'm not sure how much support from fans Dodge will get. Look at the constant complaining here about Fiat and now Stellantis. Hell, it's been like 15 years and people still complain about 4-door Chargers . I find it hard to sit down and watch NASCAR anymore, but I'm sure I'll give it a shot if Dodge makes a reappearance. I did in '01 for a couple years.

If nascrap is going to limit them to 550hp I'd like see them using production based engines.

They call it 550hp package but is it. They use a tapered bore spacer an smaller TB. Then opened ducts and ad more spoiler. So in essence with these changes the car drives and produces lap times as if it only has 550hp. The engine is probably still making 600-625 or even a little more. Would have liked to scene Nascar. Square the engine to 3.85 x 3.85 9.0 on Comp. Limit intake valve to 2.02 and cam lift to say .575 RPM limit of 8000. Use a 5spd for OD on superspeedways. Limit the final gear ratio but let them change gearbox ratios. Then start putting drag on the car and restrictor plates. To adjust for what speeds they want at tracks. They talk about changes save the teams money. That's BS Hendrick TRD Penske Yates are spending just as much now as ever before. Per dollar to HP thats just what they do. Just like the ECUs they hand out at each race. Look at the final race for say the last 5-7yrs. What the hell is the odds that the 4 drivers in championship are always in the top 4-5 at the last race. When all year long they are scatter 1-15 positions at any given race all year long. They are giving the 4 cars in the final something that the other cars aren't getting.

Pro Battery?
