HOMESTEAD, Fla. - Although Evernham Motorsports and Penske Racing have combined to win all three races in the debut season for the Dodge Charger, they have opted to bring back last year's body style this weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
Crew members, some referring to the car simply as a "Dodge" were preparing the old Intrepids for three drivers on Friday morning, which includes Derrike Cope's No. 00, Kasey Kahne's No. 9 and "Chase" contender Ryan Newman's No. 12.
Since Sunday's Ford 400 is the last race of the season, the teams will be using the race to compare the differences between the two body styles.
Kahne's teammate Jeremy Mayfield will still run the Charger, as will Rusty Wallace and Travis Kvapil for Penske.
