Notes

■ Dodge is giving its NASCAR Nationwide entry more than a facelift when the series introduces its own version of the winged car in 2010. The company is switching from the Charger to the Challenger for four races next season, coinciding with the implementation of the new Nationwide car that will be fully integrated into the series in 2011. Dodge unveiled the updated Challenger on Friday.

■ Racing will return to North Wilkesboro Speedway in 2010. The 0.625-mile track, which hosted NASCAR events from the series inception in 1949 through 1996, will welcome the USARacing Pro Cup Championship Series on Oct. 3, 2010.
