Auburn Hills, Mich., Apr 23, 2010 -

Dodge race fans now have the chance to win a one-of-kind Dodge Challenger R/T in the brand’s “Challenger Chase To Win” sweepstakes.

With a retail value of close to $40,000, the Grand Prize 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T is finished in a black-and-orange color graphic scheme that resembles Penske Racing driver Justin Allgaier’s No. 12 Verizon Wireless Dodge which he will race in the NASCAR Nationwide Series beginning on July 2, 2010 at Daytona International Speedway.

“We’re excited to offer one lucky winner a Dodge Challenger R/T that is truly one of a kind,” said Ralph Gilles, President and CEO - Dodge Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. “Following the on-track debut of the Dodge Challenger this summer, seeing a custom #12 Penske Racing Challenger on the street is going to be very cool.”
