PRO CAR PARTS : MORRISON, Colo. (July 18, 2001) - The 'factory hot rod' Pro Stock DodgeNeon R/T, driven by Mopar drivers Darrell Alderman and Mark Osborne,will make its competitive debut during qualifying for the July 19-22Mopar Parts Mile-High Nationals at Bandimere Speedway.The Pro Stock Dodge Neon R/T will be powered by Mopar's 500-cubic-inchHemi engine, which began competition at the beginning of the 2000 NHRAWinston Drag Racing Series season. In addition, Dodge Motorsports driverLarry Morgan also is slated to run the new Pro Stock Dodge Neon R/T."This is the next step in building a drag racing championship forMopar and Dodge," said Brett Fischer, drag racing program manager forDaimlerChrysler. "We began with the Hemi engine one year ago. Now we'veadded the new Pro Stock Dodge Neon R/T. We are replacing our aged R/Tbodies with something new. The new Pro Stock Dodge Neon R/T is a truefactory hot rod." PRO CAR PARTS : DaimlerChrysler's Auburn Hills, Michigan-based factory engineers anddesigners, along with RJ Race Cars, Kirkman Composites and RoushIndustries, were instrumental in developing the new car."The Pro Stock Dodge Neon R/T is the first Pro Stock car that hasreceived significant early development input from our scientific labs,"said Terry DeKoninck, DaimlerChrysler aero thermal development engineer."Usually, the factory engineers get a hold of the car when it's prettyclose to finished. An independent chassis shop will only call on usto look at the car during final wind tunnel development to make sureeverything is solid."On this project, we were instrumental in the entire developmentprocess," DeKoninck added. "We made a lot of changes form the originalmold and plug, and it came out pretty well."The frontal area on the Pro Stock Dodge Neon R/T is much smaller thanthe frontal area of the car it replaces," explained DeKoninck. "It'salso a lot slicker and has a great deal more down force, in fact, inthis car, we've been able to get a great deal of rear down force withoutcompromising on the spoiler. It has much less drag and I think it willbe one fast race car. The Pro Stock Dodge Neon R/T also will be easierto drive. With a bit longer and sleeker lines, it will have much morestability." PRO CAR PARTS : The new Pro Stock Dodge Neon R/T is designed to help Dodge and Moparkeep pace with the competition.Alderman, who has won three Winston Pro Stock World Championships underthe Mopar banner, talked about the changes happening with the dragracing program."I can tell you that I've never seen this much activity, dedication andchange in the Mopar program I see today," Alderman said. "It's quiteevident that Dodge has stepped up to the plate and wants to win a ProStock championship. I would like to win another championship myself andI think we finally have the tools to do it."The Pro Stock Dodge Neon R/T replaces the aged 2000 Dodge R/T body,which made three final-round appearances during the first part of the2001 NHRA season. Alderman opened the season in the finals at Pomona(Calif.) Raceway, while teammate Osborne drove his R/T to the finals atGainesville (Fla.) Raceway and National Trial Raceway in Kirkersville,Ohio earlier this year.
