Dodge looks to walk away from NASCAR with a championship, which would be its 1st since 1975

Published November 20, 2014

Dodge is preparing to say goodbye to NASCAR.

And if everything goes as expected Sunday, it will be one heck of a going-away party.

Dodge driver Brad Keselowski entered the Sprint Cup season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway with a 20-point lead over five-time champion Jimmie Johnson.

Penske Racing's rising star has to finish 15th or better to clinch his first championship — which also would be the first for longtime NASCAR owner Roger Penske. Keselowski has finished 11th or better in the last 11 races, so barring an accident or a catastrophic failure, Keselowski will end the day hoisting a trophy in Victory Lane.

And no one wants it more than Dodge.

Dodge is seeking its first Cup championship since Richard Petty's title in 1975.
