Interesting!!! Another Ford team might just do some to even things up with all those chebbie teams!!!!! Heard some rumors about Penske switching brands last fall, guess it took awhile to get the deal all put together!!! Now you have to wonder who's going to jump up and grab all the Dodge money????

Dodge and Chebbie $$$ = gov't motors(me and thee, so to speak)

Now he needs a couple of good drivers. Both Keselowski and Allmendinger have flashes of brilliance, but aren't top shelf like his Indy drivers are

The guy that's going to be ticked at Ford about this is the One Eyed Jack. Up to now he's been used to getting the full measure of Ford corporate support, and they pretty much dictated that all the engines & chassis engineering flowed through Rousch to the teams. Now you bring in Penske who's a full service shop, everything from chassis and Ilmor Engineering for design, developing and building engines. I'll bet there will be some heated discussions at Jack's house with this announcement.

Dodge may just pull the plug on NASCAR - there's not another full service guy out there to step in and take Penske's place, and it costs a lot more to piecemeal it. They may be done.
