Dodge has chosen Las Vegas Motor Speedway to take the wraps off its new Charger that will compete in the 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup season.
Chrysler's Street and Racing Technology will display the vehicle at 10:30 a.m. March 11 in the Neon Garage at the speedway. The unveiling occurs shortly before the Sprint Cup's Kobalt Tools 400.
"I'm very pleased with the way the car turned out," SRT president and CEO Ralph Gilles said. "We have some issues with drag, obviously, because we've changed it so much. But I think people won't believe their eyes when they're looking at what they think is basically a street car with some flat rubber on it. It will be interesting to see the responses."
Gilles didn't go into details on the changes.
Speedway president Chris Powell, noting that Dodge has been the official vehicle of LVMS since 2001, said video of the unveiling will be shown live to the fans in the stands.
"We're just very appreciative and happy that everyone at Dodge ... has chosen Las Vegas Motor Speedway as the place where the new Dodge Charger will be unveiled," Powell said.
