Atlantic Autosport Grand Am Challenger

Atlantic Autosport has called on HCR to provide design assistance for their newly formed race team.  Two new Dodge Challengers will be fielded in the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge next season.  Dodge along with Petty's Garage will be the team's sponsors and will also provide engineering support.

I have worked with Mikah at Atlantic Autosport to develop the current livery seen here.  Since Richard Petty is directly involved with the team he has allowed us to use his historic racing colors and the number 43.

To get the press excited about this new venture Atlantic Autosport vinyl wrapped Richard's personal Challenger and took it to the 2010 SEMA Show in Las Vegas.  After the show, the car was taken to Jay Leno's Garage for a taping of Jay's web series.  Although the focus of the video is on the Petty's Garage limited edition Challenger series, you still get to see a little bit of what the real race cars will look like down the line.
