Stockwell and Tobias served as honorary Team Mopar pit crew members at the Las Vegas NHRA Nationals on Nov. 2, with Tobias spending the day with Mopar/Oakley Dodge Charger R/T Funny Car driver Gary Scelzi’s pit crew, while Stockwell was paired with Rockstar Energy Drink Dodge Charger R/T Funny Car pilot Jerry Toliver’s team. Goodwyn and Johnson got their peek at the inner workings of a Team Mopar pit crew at the Automobile Club of Southern California NHRA Finals on Nov. 16. Goodwyn had the honor of shadowing Toliver’s team for a day, while Johnson was paired with Scelzi’s pit crew.

“The Mopar Winner’s Circle program was great. The people that handle it were super and my client and I had a great time,” said Goodwyn, who has worked for Chrysler dealerships since 1970. “I think Chrysler has done a really good job with the program and I would like to see it back again. Jerry was really nice to me and explained a lot to me. He’s all professional when it comes time to race.”

Congratulations to the dealerships who won a place in the 2008 Mopar Winner’s Circle.
