Today’s merger announcement is twofold: It brings an end to that 50-year relationship, and it leaves Penske Racing as the only team fielding Dodge cars. Petty didn’t find near as much success with those manufacturers as he did with Dodge. Buick Regals, Ford Torinos, and the Pontiac Grand Prix were also part of the Petty stable through the years.
