Don Schumacher Racing (DSR) might have lost its two Dodge//SRT-sponsored Camping World Drag Racing entries to Tony Stewart Racing (TSR) for 2022, but it is expanding its Dodge Challenger Mopar Drag Pak program. DSR has added a third team to its NHRA Constant Aviation Factory Stock Showdown (FSS) series lineup with the addition of Warren Walcher to the organization’s championship-winning program.

This is good news and it should be followed with more factory dollars to bring more Dodge teams to the field. Don is to be commended for his support for Drag Pak Challengers over the years, but the competition has numbers and NHRA has a history of keeping Mopars in check, so this must be a major effort and there might be more teams that can use the backing. Back in the ‘60s there were dozens of teams receiving financial and technical support, so let’s do it again. Lots of independent racers might jump on board with some support and then things will really get interesting. It’s the Dodge thing to do, again.

Agreed. Hopefully the Challenger will be more competitive this year without being restricted by the NHRA.

Near the end of the season Drag Paks were qualifying well. Traction and frontal mass top end air flow work against Dodge. The wing cars come to my mind where the Drag Pak could incorporate some less restrictive front end grill work from the factory that meets the rules. Imagine how these so equipped production stock Challengers would appreciate over time or attract attention right now. Bet the NHRA would sink that or Ford and GM would follow suit. Just my mind running wild. Challenger Dayton rings true in the shadows of my mind.
