Leo Parente and ShakeDown parse facts on Dodge leaving NASCAR and SRT Viper joining the American Le Mans Series in its quest to return to the LM24. Why did Penske leave Dodge? Why did Dodge not attract a replacement team? What does Viper Racing need to do to work - For Chrysler, racing fans, and car enthusiasts? And then we have Dodge / SRT / Ram in Global RallyCross, SuperCross, TORC racing. All to get "younger, hipper, cooler"? Something NASCAR's declining popularity does not deliver.
