Pictures have been shown all over the internet w/ the new Dodge cup cars having new headlight decals, and no Intrepid nose/foglight decals... people have been saying that Dodge will say it is a Stratus Coupe. WRONG... Dodge has said it will still campaign as a 2004 Intrepid. However a Dodge Charger model was rumored to show at NAIAS this month, but didn't... however sounds like it will debut w/ a blown 6.1L HEMI at next years NAIAS. So the pictures you see of the new Dodge front are just to change and grab the attention of fans...</P>

I can't believe Bill Elliott is out of the #9. I actually hadn't heard anyone calling it the Stratus.... LOL! Those people evidently do not pay enough attention to NASCAR. Thanks for the photos Robert!!

Amanda, the past week at Daytona during testing... Bill ran the #91 Evernham Motorsports Dodge Intrepid. Did fairly good during the testing. However, Bill was hoping to run a limited schedule of 10-12 races this year... but he hasn't got any sponser to back him up... Ray Evernham is looking... but if he can't find one, looks like Elliott will be running a 6 race schedule instead. Don't know why Dodge doesn't throw a little money in a sponser him w/ a Mopar factory car? I would to see that! Or have Kasey run a Mopar scheme and have Bill run the Dodge Dealers scheme during the races Bill will run?</P>

I'm so glad!! But the #9 is so sentimental for him... I'm glad he's not fully retired... he was really starting to do good last season...

YAH! Or he could run a Hemi Car... Hehehe... And I don't even know what to think about Kasey Kane... I already miss Bill in the #9...

Kasey Kane is a very talented young driver... it is a shame to think why doesn't Ray allow him to run the #94 again?
