Ron Krisher had considered going to a Mopar for 2007 but the thought of being tarred and feathered in his hometown just didn’t set well with the veteran Pro Stock racer.
Krisher would have been in a rather uncomfortable predicament had he opted to travel the Mopar route.
“I live where they build the Cobalts,” Krisher, of Warren, Ohio, said. “People get a down-home feeling back at home about this car. The survival of the whole community depends on the Cobalt and it wouldn’t be good to come out with a Dodge. I don’t think that would go over well with a Dodge - especially with some of the local government functions that I get involved in. You have to watch out for your bread and butter.” Ron Krisher had considered going to a Mopar for 2007 but the thought of being tarred and feathered at home just didn’t set well with the veteran Pro Stock racer.

Cobalts are big business in Warren.

“It’s a small farming community,” Krisher adds.

Krisher admits that he’s discussed the Mopar route with Larry Morgan and about a engine leasing program.

“Larry would love for me to go with a Mopar but I think I’ll stick with my Chevrolet,” Krisher said. “There are a lot of issues involved here other than just switching cars.

“I do a lot of business with Chrysler as far as cable is concerned and that’s important to me. My hometown community is pretty important to me too. We have a lot of people in the community that work in the Cobalt plant and anything I can do to help the situation I will do.”
