After being gone for nearly 30 years, the Dodge Charger nameplate will be back in NASCAR this year. A new Dodge Charger race car will make its NASCAR Nextel Cup Series debut in the Daytona 500 on Feb. 20.

Four factory teams will run the car. Dodge showed the Charger at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

The new car's development was led by Dodge with support of its primary Nextel Cup Series teams: Evernham Motorsports, Petty Enterprises, Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates and Penske Racing South. Much of the on-track testing was done by veteran driver Bill Elliott. NASCAR approved the race car for competition last August.
