New Dodge car close to submission to NASCAR: According to folks involved with the Dodge factory efforts, their new car is close to ready for submission to NASCAR. The target date for submission is June 1st [well..was, not sure if it made it], though July 1st is the drop-dead date set by NASCAR for new car submissions. According to the Dodge source, that car will be more recognizable [Charger? Daytona?] than any of the current fleet. The factory rep would tell the name of the car, but the huge rollout scheduled for next year's Speedweeks [at Daytona] might be a hint on what name might be hung on Dodge's 2005 entry. If / when NASCAR approves the new Dodge, it will mean that every year since joining the [Cup] tour that Dodge Cup owners have had to carve their cars up for the following season.(Speedway Scene Print Edition - issue dated 5/28/2004) and they will again in 2006, when the 'Car of the Future' [COF] will supposedly run.(6-9-2004)

300C= barn Door, it'd take alot of work to make that car abide to NASCARS basic car design rule. Its not a feasable project in my opinion. I could however see a Magnum sedan being a bit closer to whats required, but it too is very square with the exception of the front facia. Now, if u remember Chrysler had the Hemi on the track almost a year before it was available in production cars, they made a promise to Bill France that it would later be available as a production engine. So, the feasability factor of them releasin the Charger as a stock car a few months ahead of January would be a good idea. It would give us all something to drool over and admire and dream about. You see that car enough and i garauntee you'll want one, so there for the inital sales volume would be higher than if they introduced to to the general public and then transformed it into a stock car. Just my 2 cents
