SYDNEY - Chrysler could be joining Holden and Ford on the 2013 V8 Supercar grid after team boss Garry Rogers confirmed he's in talks with the American manufacturer.
Rogers, who currently runs two Holden Commodores in the championship through his Fujitsu Racing outfit, said he was negotiating with Chrysler to race its new 300c sedan from next year.
``We have had discussions with Chrysler,'' Rogers told the V8X Magazine website.
``Are they going anywhere? I'd like to think they are.
``They seem to have done their homework on the category and us and their knowledge is good.
``We have had another discussion in the last week and that was quite productive.
``We haven't got anything up yet, but I am hoping we can.''
The news comes after an earlier report this month revealing Chrysler's interest in the championship.
The president and chief executive of Chrysler's street and race technology arm, Ralph Gilles, said at the Detroit Auto Show that the V8 Supercars was on the company's radar ahead of the next generation 300c launch in Australia in June.
