The old Chrysler Corp. dropped out of stock-car racing when the company slashed its motor-sports program in the 1970s in an effort to save money. It is no secret in Detroit that representatives from NASCAR have been wooing Dodge for years in hope that the addition of another big all-American nameplate will help make the Winston Cup series even more popular.
