Penske Switches Back to AMC Matador

After a one-race switch back to the Dodge Intrepid failed to produce results, Roger Penske has announced that his teams will be switching back to another prior model--the AMC Matador.
"We feel that the Matador gives us our best chance to win", explained Penske. "Besides, once you take a look at it, you'll see that its one sharp-looking car."
Penske has been disappointed with the results of the Dodge Charger, DaimlerChrysler's official Nascar entry for the 2005 and 2006 seasons. However, a grandfather clause in the rules allows cars previously run in Nascar to remain approved. This explains the Wood Brothers recent attempt at Daytona with a '59 Merc.
"That car looks just plain ugly", opined Penske driver Kurt Busch. "But if it will get us to victory lane, I'll drive it. Heck, I drove a purple car last year, I can put up with this."
Fellow Penske driver Ryan Newman was much less optimistic.
"That thing looks like a Pinto on steriods. I've seen better aerodynamics on a Grand Prix. Besides, I wouldn't be surprised if Jimmie Johnson's car failed inspection."
Penske Racing has already begun preparing Matadors for Busch and Newman for the next Cup race in Las Vegas. This could drive up sales at AMC dealerships across the country, which currently total one.
