Dodge is moving closer to running its new engine in a Sprint Cup race. Tommy Wheeler, engineering services director for Gillett Evernham Motorsports, says he hopes to begin extensive track testing next month with the goal of having the engine debut sometime during the Chase in a Dodge car not competing for the title. Wheeler said he'd like to see the new engine used in at least five races this season before all Dodge teams begin using it next year.

Looks like Kasey Kahne will get a little extra punch in his ride.
Lydia will be so happy...............no more selling mexican food in california.

The new engine can't be any worse than the current ones most Dodge teams field.

looks like they might have given kasey kahne his early he has been running pretty good as of late, but the rest of the dodge cars could use something... especially Kurt buschs car.

So what they are saying is now Dodge will have a horsepower boost comparable to Toyota?? Great, now Chevy is really scre wed.

July 10, 2008  09:14 AM ET

Its about time. My Stratus sucked.

July 10, 2008  09:15 AM ET

Chevy gets the new engine next year.
Wait until the wizards at RCR and Hendrick get there hands on those.

Sounds like they are expecting some blow outs... using non-chase cars.

Anyone want to comment on what Mr. Bills avatar reminds you of?

With longer hair! LOL

Won't go to Kasey this season. The article says it's going to debut in a car NOT competing for the title. I don't see Kasey dropping out of the Chase at this point.

I guess there are some Japanses car lovers in here -- last post got axed ... so I will say it again. It doesn't make any difference what Chevy, MoPar, and the Blue Oval troops come up with -- they will not be able to use it until everything is givin' to the Japanses camp as promised...

In NASCAR Money talks and BS walks... Toyota Racing Development has always had a HUGE frickin budget to throw around.

July 10, 2008  02:31 PM ET

Duh; When you are #1, you have the money. GM had it for years and they threw it around. I think they call this payback.

Kyle Busch's extra horsepower come off of an invetion Gibbs has that uses the tears of Hendrix fan's as a NOS-like booster... or so I hear
