Four Penske-built cars in Dodge Challenger bodies have been entered, apparently by independent teams, into the upcoming Drive4COPD 300 race scheduled for February 28, 2014. Dodge drivers listed on the pre-qualifying page are Mike Wallace (#28), Clay Greenfield (#67), Willie Allen (#76), and Johnny Sauter (#80). Other drivers, based on Twitter statements, appear to be Tommy Joe Martins, Matt DiBenenedetto, Mike Harmon, and Matt Carter. The cars appear to be privately run by independent teams, rather than official Dodge entries, made available by Penske from available engines and bodies.
Update: A Chrysler spokesman has confirmed that ‘the Challengers slated to run this weekend at Daytona were part of past inventory from Penske Racing that were sold to various independent teams.’(Allpar)
