Would that make it the only two door in NASCAR?

It was for the Nationwide series, not Cup.   Not for 2009 either.    Basically, it is the Challenger nose and hood styling on a COT style body.   When viewed from the side, it isn't as flattering.

The car is going to be used in the Nationwide (used to be BUSCH) series Camaros, Challengers and Mustangs and probably some sort of yoyo.

They won't be in the cup series. The object is to have fewer Cup guys using nationwide races as testing races. PLUS to give the nationwide series cars their own look instead of looking like "old Cup cars" which is what most of them actually are.

This sounds amazing.

I am too young to have watched Mustangs, Camaros, and Challengers when they hit the road track together the first time around. I live close enough to a track that I would immediately buy a ticket if those three were duking it out.

YES!  Finally Dodge has a cool two door.  Trying to make the four door Charger cool had its limitations (four doors), even though the lowered look is sort of cool on the new Charger, there is nothing like the two door chally.    :2thumbs:


Why would you want anything else?  Just give me a Charger and I'll be happy.

Here's a screen saver (right sized) I made a while ago.    I have this in a 700 KB but can't load that large file size here.

Its a terrible paint job for sure.   looks like they didn't finish it yet,    I would like to see some that are done differently, even the spoilers/skirts etc.   grill, headlight covers painted, etc.       

  edit:  up there I meant desktop background, not screen saver, whatever

There's no way they would race that in NASCAR.  With the grill pushed in like that ....not very aerodynamic  :slap:

Forget NASCAR.  Support your local track before the developers put condos all over the place.
Rockford (IL) Speedway is the latest victim

I thought Rockford was part of the NASCAR weekly racing series.

I had the same thought too - but is this an attempt to get some front bite on short/downforce tracks that the other makes can't achieve?  It'd be horrible on the superspeedways, that's for sure...  If they could run the Coronet/Avenger on the big tracks, and this monstrosity on the downforce tracks, it might be the best of both worlds.

Not likely to happen, but it'd be interesting if they tried.
