If true,
Nothing like jumping ship to a brand that isn't even sure they wanna be there or not. When did Dodge hire people from Lotus?

Battle underway to save Nazareth Speedway: All over the United States, you can find historic but shuttered tracks, locales which once hosted all-out assaults of speed and sound but now sit abandoned, often gone to seed. Each of these tracks has its own hardy band of defenders and advocates who hope they can entice racing to return. Nazareth Speedway in Pennsylvania never hosted a Sprint Cup-level race, but did host lower series races (and IndyCar races) until 2004. Familiar names like Matt Kenseth, Dan Wheldon, Helio Castroneves and Greg Biffle notched Nationwide wins there; Martin Truex Jr. won the last race there in May 2004. The track is owned by ISC, but its role in the Northeast has been usurped by fellow ISC track Watkins Glen. Shoot, even the grandstands from Nazareth Speedway were removed and shipped over to Watkins Glen. For more about the speedway preservation effort, visit their Facebook page.(Yahoo Sports)(7-25-2012)

What's that on the right? It looks like Chevrolet is going to use the Camaro in the Nationwide Series next year. This is from Elliott Sadler's twitter.

Another Canadian in the Montreal race, this time it's Tagliani driving the 30 car that Piquet Jr. drove for Turner Motorsports to the win at Road America. Not sure if it's the exact same car or not, but it is the same ride (just to clarify).

Knowing Tagliani's history, if it's not the same car and he gets given an 'inferior' machine he will bitch for days.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

GM resisting 'muscle car' marketing for Nationwide COT: NASCAR executives are trying to turn the Nationwide series into something of a 'pony-car,' 'muscle-car' tour, which is a brilliant idea, with potentially new demographics and more marketing punch. And those who have seen the new NASCAR-designed Nationwide car-of-tomorrow say it's a good-looker…though conceding it will be a major expense, for teams that are already deep in a hole. Ford and Dodge have signed on to that 'muscle car' marketing concept, but General Motors' officials are continuing to resist putting their new Camaro into the on-track mix. Okay, why? The new Camaro is already a well-marketed NASCAR pace car this season, and it's a spiffy muscle car, which would match up well with the Mustang. So why would GM resist NASCAR push to include it in next season's Nationwide tour? Simple – GM is resisting putting the Camaro under NASCAR's 'common template' body rules. GM's Chevyt division wants to hold to the Camaro's distinctive new styling, rather than have to slap decals on a race car that would be all but identical to a common template Mustang and Charger. (mikemulhern.net)(7-3-2009)

Ahem..... Good job GM. :o

Wonder if NASCAR made concessions or GM to put it in the series?

Well, I mean technically they're not common template cars.

Looks pretty awkward IMO, I think the guy at GM who didn't want to spoil the Camaro's lines had it right. Shame they haven't freed up the Nationwide templates like they have the Sprint cars for next year. It's essentially just an Impala (or spec NNS body) with some Camaro detailing on the nose. The greenhouse looks so awkward on these cars, like the old Daytona prototypes.
