Michael Andretti possibly having a NASCAR team using Dodge

I admit this is a bit of a shocker, but it would be cool if he could work out some sort of deal with Robby.

I don't see it, for a lot of reasons...

I didn't know Michael's pockets where that deep?!
What's the wager that Fiat is going to do anything more than a token effort? (my std bet is a beer)

Fiat is a joke and always has been. For years they have built some of the biggest POS to ever be seen on the road. Of course they weren't seen too long as they all died an early death. Nothing has changed, their new Fiat 500 is not going to sell very well here in the USA. It has been out for almost two years and I have yet to see one on the highway. I don't live in Bumfuck by the way, I live in California and not seeing even one says a lot about how well they are selling. They aren't selling.....

Want to read about Fiat and how well they are doing with the Chrysler brand? Bookmark Peter De Lorenzo's blog and follow it every Wednesday when it updates. Lots of good stuff there. http://www.autoextremist.com/

Its amazing you can post this after you attacked me about Robby driving in Indy this year. Just saying. Between you and that Martinez clown attacking people on this site just makes me shake my head.

I don't see what RGM would be worth to anyone that would enter NASCAR, not to be a downer but the team as it stands today is not on solid financial footing, no top 35 status and no engine program. But on a bright note I bet RG still has his Michael Andretti school for the blind driving shirt that he and PT had from their Champ Car days, besides Marco would get the ride anyway and his abysmal performance will just leave Mario still shaking his head in disgust at his families nepotism racing ways........that said I do like RHR and Hinhtown... fuck it, I just miss RG running every weekend even if it was a futile result......end rant

How about a billionare step in put up the money create a Corporate umbrella under R/wC Racing (Rebels with a Cause) do all the wind tunnel, provide all the technology required to compete, let these guys run their franchise under/as part of the Corporate umbrella and then - you ready for this far fetched, would never happen pipe dream/team: Robby Gordon, Tony Stewart, Kurt & Kyle Busch. I know Kurt and Robby have had their feuds and all this drivers want to run their own show but a team like this would dominate - with the financial backing and no suspensions of course. : ) Have a hey-day with this one.

Like I said before, Kurt Busch just needs to go away period.

I would like to see it.

Indy is good, but not the same as it once was. Nascar seems to be declining, but maybe Michael wants to try some of the koolaid.
