But this time, we\u2019re\ngiving competitors Direct Connection parts to use as building blocks in\nassembling their race cars,\u201d said Tim Kuniskis, Dodge brand chief executive officer\n\u2013 Stellantis. \u201cIt\u2019ll be fun to see if Alex can defend her crown against a mix\nof returning racers and new blood. Last year,\neveryone learned that getting traction is the key to street racing on Woodward\nAvenue. So this year, we\u2019re upping the ante. All competitors will be running a\nDirect Connection crate engine that they can modify however they want, but they\nwill all have the added challenge of competing with a Direct Connection\nsix-speed manual transmission.\u201d\n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
