NASCAR is the most popular motor championship in the United States, created in the difficult era of post-WWII (1948), when due to a shortage of new cars, Hill France, the President of NASCAR, had the idea of transforming street (stock) cars into top racing vehicles.
Since then NASCAR has grown to become the second most popular professional sport in terms of television ratings inside the U.S. with a very large international audience as well: NASCAR races are broadcasted in over 150 countries with more than 75 million fans.

This Dodge Charger has a long and sharp body emphasizing its great aerodynamics. The front has a cross-shaped air intake and above that the Charger and Dodge logos are emphasized with a nice combination of the two primary colors.
In the lateral of the car, each sponsor´s logo is clearly displayed as well as the legendary #9. The wheels are a unique red color, while the wide tires and ¨grippy¨ rubber replicate the authentic Goodyear tires used by all NASCAR teams in 2006.
The interior of the vehicle, as typical in all NASCAR cars, is quite simple with emphasis on the roll bars and other safety features.
At the back, the big Dodge logo and a black curved spoiler have a predominant position. |
The car reproduced by SCX is the #9 Dodge Charger with the 2006 decoration of the team Evernham Motorsports.
A former modified driver, Ray Evernham heads this premier racing organization in NASCAR's top series. Under Evernham's leadership the Dodge Charger has won 179 Cup races and made drivers such as Jeff Gordon, Richard Petty and Bill Elliot - all real legends. In 1999, Dodge asked Evernham to lead their return to Cup racing after a 20-year absence. Within two short years, Evernham helped bring the storied manufacturer back into a sport they had once dominated.
Kasey Kahne, the driver of this #9 Dodge Charger, replaced the legend Bill Elliot in 2004 and he surprisingly recordered five second-place finishes and won the Rookie of the Year Award. With only 24 years of age, he remains one of the NASCAR´s promising young drivers.
