Dodge Back In NASCAR
Ray Evernham did it in
11 months...
grant you 20 years ago almost
with Championship driver Bill Elliot as 'the shoe' even...
if theirs a will there's a way...
it could be done easily if they wanted too
don't ever doubt it, if there's the desire &
$$$ to do so
Evernham brought Dodge back, after last time they bailed on NASCAR
they used a couple of old winning chassis of Elliot's for the 2001 debut
(formally were Ford powered/skinned)
& re-skinned it/them with Dodge panels & new Dodge power-plant (R5 IIRC)
before they build their own spec. built Dodge 'Cup & Nationwide' cars, later
actually did pretty damn well, set the stage/paved the way
for a few other
now former NASCAR Cup Series champs to get
their Championships too
Roger Penske was one of the Dodge Team owners/winners
