I go back to the days when Iggy Katona and Ramo Stott were Mopar legends. They got coverage in all the racing publications of the day (no TV coverage, back then) and contributed greatly to the Mopar performance image that still survives today.
Viewing the later names on the list just saddened me. Chad Blount, Shelby Howard, Joey Miller, and, of course, Kligerman, all showed great potential as Dodge development drivers. Did they get any factory support to continue their relationships with Dodge? Of course not. All Dodge did was invest in their training so they could go on and race for Toyota or "Brand C" teams.
