As 2013 cars hit track, Dodge isn't ready for test

Dodge's 2013 Charger has been approved, but the first test of the next-generation model since NASCAR's final go-ahead will occur without the manufacturer.

A Goodyear tire test Tuesday and Wednesday at Martinsville Speedway will draw next year's models of the Ford Fusion, Toyota Camry and Chevrolet SS, but the Charger will be missing because Dodge doesn't have a team to field it.

In about fifteen minutes around 4:30 Thursday morning, nine sets of keys were swiped from a valet parking shed and six cars were taken from the lot of the Newark Liberty International Airport Marriott, said a Port Authority Police spokesman.
