Nascar News

Hi BradPitStop!

I wish (really) that your conclusions are gonna conclude exactly the way you wrote it.

It would be a hell of a reversal of situation to see JV in both series... Would love it...

Welcome back Brad !

-They have said this(Penske leaving Dodge) happened over months not hours.
- months ago JV raced a Penske Dodge
- months ago JV was confirmed to be considering Red Bull nascar team
-dodge is still set to show the new 2013 dodge nascar racecar at vegas next weekend after phoenix
-dodge needs a race team at cup level and they obviously have something up their sleeves, as did Penske

Draw your own conclusions.

O.K. my conclusion is Ragan and JV in cup and Ranger and JV in Nationwide Dodges.

Also GCI has been changing today and the 27 ford is entered inPhoenix with no driver listed yet GCI website says next race is Vegas.?

About time you showed up!!

Got me thinking too.

Thanks for the welcome. I have been lurking daily and translating since jv world dried up.
In the light of day my conclusion is optomistic but still holds water I hope. Robby Gordon is a largly unsupported dodge team and has jv ties in past also and recently mentioned needing investors.
The GC International connection ? who really knows but the players?
JJ Yelley is in 27 at phoenix.

RPM Petty is being mentioned re dodge.

Have a good weekend JV fans.

Thx BPS, hopefully the fog will lift up pretty soon.

Or not.

Can we expect a support of Dodge for a Villeneuve Racing Team project in 2013 ?

If so, JV better do some oval races this year.

Where does Dodge go in 2013? A new manufacturer in Cup? Dodge will unveil its 2013 Sprint Cup car on March 11 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. However, the bigger question now is who will be driving Dodges next year? Robby Gordon Motorsports would be the lone team at this point after Penske Racing announced Thursday that it was moving to manufacturer Ford in 2013. But Dodge has also reached out to other teams, including Richard Petty Motorsports, according to owner Andy Murstein. "We received calls from several manufacturers today asking if they could meet with us," Murstein said. "It seems that while sponsorship is down, car manufacturer support is strong. That is probably due to the fact that the car companies are all doing significantly better these days than a few years ago. Thus Petty has been approached by several manufacturers recently. What's interesting is that while there are the usual suspects there is one new manufacturer that is trying to break into the sport. RPM's contract with Ford is up at the end of the season. Petty ran Dodges from 1972 to 1978. Petty Enterprises aligned with Dodge again when the manufacturer returned to NASCAR competition in 2001 through most of the 2009 season, then under the RPM banner. Earnhardt Ganassi Racing president Steve Lauletta said the company had not yet been approached by Dodge.(Fox Sports)

Personnally, I would love to see JV with Robby Gordon, a hell of a profile, a perfect complimentary match with JV...

When he "won" at Montreal, I was on his side...

This guy has balls, big ones; in today's world, I respect this more than anything. But sometimes, it's not enough, you have to back up a little bit to go ahead stronger...

JV is much better doing that...

#27 ford, driver TBA entered in NNS Las Vegas and nothing noteworthy in cup race entries

I can sort of understand "Start and Park" in Cup but S and P in NNS is a bit pathetic.

I hope there's a bigger picture that we can't see.

Thanks Cassee, I can do nothing but to like this guy, he's always very sincere...

The new dodge will be unveiled in victory lane after todays race.

I could see JV in that car.


Dodge Statement: In response to today's announcement by Penske Racing, Ralph Gilles, President and CEO – SRT Brand and Motorsports, offered the following statement: "Dodge has enjoyed a successful partnership with Penske Racing for 10 years. It's a partnership that has produced results for both parties on and off the track. Roger (Penske) has made a business decision to accept an offer with another manufacturer. We wish Roger and Penske Racing much success in the future. "We are committed to work with Penske Racing to compete at the highest level, win races and contend for championships this season. Our motorsports involvement isn't limited to NASCAR. We do value our NASCAR program and will be evaluating the opportunities available moving forward. As those opportunities materialize, we'll reveal our 2013 plans, not only in NASCAR but in other forms of motorsports."(Dodge PR)(3-1-2012)

I do agree Cassee.

I have a high opinion of Mr Ralph Gilles, I have seen him driving the Viper SRT at the Targa Newfoundland on TV.

Also, I have listened his discussion on that link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNhf1fAsUsU

Very credible guy, in charge of the whole SRT team. Which also makes very credible road vehicles...

Andrew Ranger talks about 2012 racing

is it because he is not so good with the english language
that he have too much difficultys too find sponcers?

Thanks for the clip. I like Andrew. I have a picture of Paul Tracy's championship winning cart/champ car the year players tobacco left racing and fans entered their name to be on the car, well the picture is a close up of my name and right next to and above it is Andrew Rangers name . I printed 2 copies full page and had both PT and AR sign them at the first Edmonton Indy and they both wanted to know what they were signing cause it just looked like a page of names. They thought it was a cool souvenir and unique.

I just read Fitzpatrick has a full time ride in the truck series. Good for him, I mustta missed that when it happened.

Still waiting for some action/news Jacques.

Despite the way Andrew is answering, it is a very sad situation for him after all he proved throughout his young carreer...

And lastgard, maybe it is because french is my primarly language, the french accent is the only thing I noticed... You feel that he should improve his language level?

What's the problem with his language level ?
Do you think that Rednecks are better english speakers ? I can't mostly understand anything from them.
Of course, I am French and I do not speak and write English as you boys in Canada.
The only problem for me is that they have (Jacques too) no support of an American company or one of the strongest in Canada.
I think that Jacques have no problem to speak very well, isn't he ?

Money talks...

Money talks only American.

And their fiat money aint worth much
