*December 6, 2018, Auburn Hills, Mich.* - Dodge//SRT and Mopar have
announced a renewed commitment to National Muscle Car Association (NMCA)
competitors for the 2019 season. For the second consecutive year, the
brands will offer racers in model-year 2005 and newer FCA US LLC vehicles
complimentary entry in the NMCA Dodge/Mopar HEMI® Shootout category,
providing performance enthusiasts a sanctioned and secure drag strip
environment to race their muscle cars.

In its first year, the Dodge/Mopar HEMI Shootout drew large, 75-car fields
showcasing a spectrum of modern-day FCA US vehicle nameplates, including
Dodge Challenger and Charger Scat Pack models, 707-horsepower Challenger
and Charger SRT Hellcat models and the limited-production 840-horsepower
Dodge Challenger SRT Demon.

The six-event 2019 NMCA schedule blasts off with the season-opening 17th
annual NMCA Muscle Car Mayhem at Bradenton Motorsports Park in Bradenton,
Florida, March 7-10, 2019.

“The NMCA Dodge/Mopar HEMI Shootout is a great opportunity for the
performance lovers who support our brands to hit the drag strip in a
sanctioned, controlled environment,�?? said Steve Beahm, Head of Parts and
Service (Mopar) and Passenger Car Brands, FCA - North America. “These
events are the perfect venue to let our vehicle owners live out their
passion, and we’re also proud to be able to help our new Challenger R/T
Scat Pack 1320 owners experience their drag-oriented muscle cars by
providing one-year NHRA and NMCA memberships.�??

“NMCA was thrilled with the overwhelming response to the Dodge/Mopar HEMI
Shootout class this year, and we look forward to continuing this exciting
program in 2019,�?? said Steve Wolcott, President and CEO of the NMCA Muscle
Car Nationals. “Passion for the Dodge Challenger and Gen III HEMI engine
platforms has never been higher, and we anticipate full 75-car fields at
each NMCA series national event. I personally invite anyone who’s never
been down the drag strip before because our team makes it easy for
enthusiasts to enjoy their Gen III HEMI engine-powered vehicles."

The NMCA Dodge/Mopar HEMI Shootout offers enthusiasts an easy, fun
experience, with personalized, step-by-step instruction available.
Competitors are encouraged to race at their own pace, depending on each
participant’s comfort level. Each Dodge/Mopar HEMI Shootout participant
will also receive a free collectible license plate. As an added bonus,
participants who would like to extend their racing experience will also
receive complimentary entry into the Sunday Bracket 3/Street class at each
NMCA event.

The Dodge/Mopar HEMI Shootout class is open to the first 75 vehicle owners
to register for each NMCA event, with each complimentary entry — valued up
to $175 — good for one car/driver participant credential. Vehicles entered
in the Dodge/Mopar HEMI Shootout must be licensed, insured and street
driven, on street-legal tires and must be model-year 2005 or newer FCA US
vehicles.

*About Dodge//SRT*
Dodge//SRT offers a complete lineup of performance vehicles that stand out
in their own segments. Dodge is America’s mainstream performance brand and
SRT is positioned as the ultimate performance halo of the Dodge brand,
together creating a complete and balanced performance brand with one vision
and one voice.

For more than 100 years, the Dodge brand has carried on the spirit of
brothers John and Horace Dodge, who founded the brand in 1914. Their
influence continues today. New for 2019, the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat
Redeye is possessed by the Demon. Its 797-horsepower supercharged HEMI®
high-output engine makes it the most powerful, quickest and fastest muscle
car reaching 0-60 miles per hour (mph) in 3.4 seconds and the fastest GT
production car with a ¼-mile elapsed time (ET) of 10.8 seconds at 131 mph.
It also reaches a new top speed of 203 mph. Joining the Challenger SRT
Hellcat Redeye is the 2019 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat with its more
powerful 717-horsepower engine, the Challenger R/T Scat Pack Widebody,
which features fender flares from the SRT Hellcat Widebody and adds 3.5
inches of width to Scat Pack’s footprint, as well as and the new Challenger
R/T Scat Pack 1320. Infused with exclusive drag strip technology from the
iconic Dodge Challenger SRT Demon, the Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320 is a
drag-oriented, street-legal muscle car and a blank canvas for the serious
grassroots drag racer.  The 2019 Dodge Durango SRT, America’s fastest, most
powerful and most capable three-row SUV with a best-in-class tow rating of
8,700 lbs. fills out the brands’ performance lineup. These visceral
performance models join a 2019 brand lineup that includes the Durango,
Grand Caravan, Journey, Charger and Challenger — a showroom that offers
performance at every price point.
