NASCAR driver Kurt Busch, star of Penske Racing’s Dodge team, got handed the keys to the 25,000th Dodge Viper by Chrysler CEO Robert Nardelli after the vehicle rolled off the line during the celebration of the Viper’s milestone today. The video of the event involves a bit of footage of the Conner Ave Assembly Plant in Detroit, where Vipers have been built by hand since the car’s production debut in 1992. As for Kurt Busch, the driver who bump-drafted teammate Ryan Newman to victory at this year’s Daytona 500, he’s generally most famous for his ongoing feud with Tony Stewart, which culminated most recently in Busch ramming the Great Pumpkin’s Home Depot Toyota with his Dodge during Daytona practice. Mopar probably won’t have to worry about the hot-head driver failing to get their Viper into the news at some point soon. Congrats, Kurt!
