Dodge plans to phase in new Sprint Cup engine
Quote selected text Published January 15th, 2008 in NASCAR News
Dodge officials expect to have a new engine on the track sometime this summer.
The new engine should improve water flow and the ability to make power reliably, said Howard Comstock, Dodge’s Sprint Cup program manager.
Gillett Evernham Motorsports, Penske Racing and Chip Ganassi Racing build their own engines. Petty Enterprises uses Gillett Evernham motors.
“We did the initial development in-house at Chrysler and made parts available to the teams,” Comstock said. “Now they have got parts, and they can get their engines put together and run them for the first time on their dyno.
“We will get some additional feedback and make some engineering changes as we go along and make sure that everything is solid before the engine actually sees competition.”
