Autoblog - The car universe isn't without its irony. For instance, it's something of a tragedy that just after the sun has officially set on the Dodge Viper, Chrysler finally manages to get the ball rolling on its Viper Cup. The race series will feature a total of 10 events held at five tracks across the country, starting this weekend. The rules are pretty simple: entrants must take to the field in more or less identical 2010 Viper ACR-X models. The winner walks away with $6,500 in cold hard cash, plus another $1,000 in Mopar Vouchers for parts and the like. Prizes trickle down from there.
Interestingly enough, the cable network Versus will be broadcasting each event in a 30-minute show format, so while the action won't be live, we'll still be able to enjoy it from the comfort of our air-conditioned living rooms. Dodge has also thrown in a few "celebrity" wildcards into the fray, including Shaun Bailey, the associate engineering editor at Road & Track, and Sergent Michael Kohn, of Olympic bobsled renown. Hey, we didn't say they were exactly A-listers, did we? Hit the jump for the press release.
