Earlier this month, Penske Racing fielded Justin Allgaier’s No. 12 Verizon Wireless Dodge Challenger at Daytona International Speedway. Dodge is providing support for Penske Racing's two-car operation in the Nationwide Series, in addition to Penske's three teams in the Sprint Cup Series. "As the performance brand of our new company, we are excited to expand our relationship with Penske Racing and introduce the iconic Dodge Challenger as our entry into the NASCAR Nationwide Series," said Ralph Gilles, president and CEO, Dodge Car Brand. "Motorsports are a significant part of the Dodge brand's legacy. Penske Racing has such a rich tradition in motorsports, and our partnership in the Nationwide Series will provide an excellent opportunity to showcase the Challenger and offer our loyal Dodge enthusiasts plenty of excitement in this very competitive series next year." Penske Racing is fielding two teams, both running the full-season schedule. The Dodge Challenger will be used at the four new car races NASCAR has designated. At the other 31 events that complete the 35-race season, Penske Racing will field Dodge Chargers as it did this season with the No. 12 driven by Justin Allgaier. Joining Allgaier will be Brad Keselowski in the No. 22. "We believe Dodge's relationship with Penske Racing will continue to elevate and highlight both our brands and deliver value to Dodge enthusiasts," said Tim Cindric, president of Penske Racing. NASCAR is expecting full integration of the new car in 2011.
