At least Dodge finished in 6 of the top 8 and all but three of the Dodges finished in the top 15.
When NASCAR was in the '80's, you had Chevy-Pontiac-Olds-Buick-Plymouth-Dodge-Ford-Mercury models running around. All of these cars had the exterior body styles of the STOCK car design, and you could root for your brand because you could pick out those models from a distance. Now the only thing that separates them is the decal on the front grills. One day it may even come down to a company making 43 identical race cars, and you pick a number out of a hat and that's your car! They did it that way with the IROC cars, they were ALL built by a company near Tinton Falls, and the drivers were given their cars by random.
