Dodge’s John Fernandez said a planned testing summit of Dodge Nextel Cup teams won’t take place until early next month. The group test will be conducted in an attempt to fix the aero imbalance and pitch sensitivity woes that have plagued the Dodge Charge since its introduction last season. Meanwhile, the major Dodge teams — Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates, Penske Racing South and Evernham Motorsports— each worked during the offseason to come up with different approaches to solve the Charger’s problems. Fernandez said Dodge may seek NASCAR’s OK for what he termed a “hybrid” car with better aero characteristics. “We’re hoping that we’ve solved the problem with the 2005 car,” he said, adding only that the hybrid “would be something a little bit different than the current Charger.”(Speed Channel)(2-1-2006)

i know this is completely off subject but i can't stop watching speed channel man. i had it on there all yesterday and night and then first thing this morning watching practices......and i definitely can't stop looking for where i will be sitting thursday through sunday! i am going out of my skin with excitement. wednesday at 700am we will be on the road. today i am going hunting for a race scanner.

off subject yet again. the damn fords are looking good. the ford guys seem really pleased with their setup and the new aero package and to boot - they were talking on speed channel about how they thought a ford was going to win the 500. not looking good for the dodge guys.
