‘Win on Sunday, sell on Monday’ is a phrase that’s been used to tie together racing and car sales, and the promotion has worked well over several decades. Included in that idea are the big three and the use of drag racing ‘stock-appearing’ rides to sell their showroom counterparts.

That idea has been enjoying its latest wave with National Hot Rod Association Factory Stock Showdown and Factory X class, but recent rules infractions have the rumor mill swirling on future participation in the class.

With two of the ‘Big 3’ auto manufacturers axing their ‘muscle cars’ for the foreseeable future, what will this do to the auto enthusiast and racing community? With a limitation of these cars in the pipeline, both new and used, what will enthusiasts turn to next?

“For the first few years of my Hellcat life, it was my daily driver and I absolutely love driving the car. I actually don’t even own a trailer. I drive my car to and from the track, and I somehow manage to always make it home at the end of the day.”

The departure of the Chevrolet Camaro, as well as the Dodge Challenger and Charger, would leave only the Ford Mustang as the last-remaining American pony / muscle car.
