Ralph Gilles officially announced the Dodge will not participate
in NASCAR starting in 2013, the second time Dodge has withdrawn from NASCAR.
The move comes about 4 months after Penske Racing announced they
would switch to Fords, and last week they announced they would use
Roush-Yates engines.
The main reason
Dodge isn't running next year and for the foreseeable future is that Dodge didn’t
have any offers from a competitive team. Richard Petty Motorsports
was rumored to switch, but opted not to. But, RPM had one win with both of
their drivers combined. That was Marcos Ambrose last year at Watkins Glen.

Furniture Row
Racing was the latest team to be rumored, and would start
a second team with Kurt Busch. But apparently it fell through. Even
with a driver like Kurt Busch, I don’t see Furniture Row being successful. Even
with Michael Andretti, dodge was looking at major struggles.
The question is
now, How will Brad Keselowski's championship hopes be affected? I believe his
performance will be not affected, his performance maybe even better. Dodge is going to want to
go out with a huge bang, what better way than giving Brad Keselowski a
championship? One thing is for sure, Dodge will not be in NASCAR for a
while.
