it's a shame, could this be the signal that dodge will pull out of the NCTS? they are struggling to win they have not had a win since Mansfield in 2005 with the late Bobby Hamilton. Toyota, Chevy and Ford have dominated the series, maybe Nissan will enter the series with it's Titan model???

It is most definitely a shame. However, you're incorrect about Dodge not having a win since 2005 at Mansfield with the late Bobby Hamilton. Dennis Setzer won the truck race at Martinsville back in the spring of this year driving a Bobby Hamilton Racing Dodge. Hope this helps.

Well it means that Dodge won't be running any factory-backed teams. Given just how badly Chrysler and the others are doing financially losing billions each quarter, I'm surprised they went this long before that came down.

It is a shame to see history go full circle now though. I remember back in '95 when Dodge came back into racing through this new Truck Series. It took a while but eventually Tony Raines won Dodge's first Truck Series race, and history took a turn from there on that saw Dodge return back into NASCAR's top series. If not for that, Ray Evernham could very well still be Jeff Gordon's crew chief right now.

But this doesn't mean Dodges will vanish from the Truck Series right now. Teams may still choose to run Dodges. Right now it looks like BHR and Green Light still will, but if those teams choose to start running other manufacturers, then there will be no Dodge trucks left. So while there's no guarantee Dodge will go extinct, this means Dodge may go extinct in the Truck Series.

I agree with daveyfan28 that manufacturing help will not be there but in my local newspaper last friday they had a big artical about this matter and the way they it read is that dodge was pulling from the truck series but gave no time frame when it was going to happen or if it will happen at all. If they do pull how long till they worry bout the nationwide series and sprint cup. The only dodge in the top 15 of points so far for cup this season is kasey kahne and he's 13th in the standings. In the nationwide series you have dj kennington and morgan shephard and they are 26th and 27th respectivley.

I believe that BHR might go to Chevy's next year because I think if BHR-V can't drive Dodges, why not Chevys? It's so hard to compete without factory support in the top level. Maybe in the lower levels, but in these highly competitive series it is difficult.
