In my opinion, it will not be the Dodge boys who make the final decision as to what team to recruite but the FIAT guys. RG has an international rep going for him in off road. So if FIAT wants to expand the Jeep or Dodge brand in the International SUV market, RG can give them a big leg up. FIAT also has SUV's with one of them being a Jeep Journey knockoff. So there is another brand that RG's expertise can be applied to.

There are rumors of FIAT looking at getting either one of their brands or one of the Chrysler brands back into Indycar. Chip I believe decided to Stick with Honda this year instead of Chevy (Penske) or the Lotus-Cosworth-Ford based thing. Ya gotta figure if Chip is only signed with Honda or a year or two and FIAT is looking to come into Indycar then partnering with him on the NASCAR side would be beneficial for both marketing wise.

No Robby drives the re-number #33 car. Robby sponsors the car using RCR stuff

Where is MOPAR sponsorship from Dodge? I remember a few years back REM had that sponsorship from Dodge. Since it's Vegas, time for Dodge to go all-in with Robby and one other team.

I think it would make sense for Dodge to save face and have something set for this week if possible during the unvieling. I find it very hard to believe they were caught off guard with Penski. Someone had to know and have a "plan B". Are they going to take the podium and say"Look at our awesome 2013 Charger, ready to go...anyone want a ride?".

MOPAR is down on Keselowski's truck team. Seems like the Truck Series started the MOPAR brand has always been advertised there more-so then in any of the other NASCAR series.
