Yes, really. And, according to Chrysler’s official blog post, the three year partnership is already going swimmingly.The nation’s storied auto company and the nation’s storied space agency are joining forces again, by announcing a three-year alliance to exchange information on advanced technology across a broad spectrum of engineering and scientific areas that both organizations can benefit from. The alliance allows Chrysler Group and NASA to tap into existing and emerging space exploration and automotive technologies… Chrysler has already benefited from the alliance from shared research on reliable surface navigation sensors.NASA, meanwhile, is said to have gained deep insights into hard-plastic interior component manufacturing. Just kidding. We hope.

Interesting you should post this picture. I was wondering the other day after seeing a similar picture can you really get a stock car, of any sort, airborne without risk of doing serious damage? The force on the tires, rims, suspension, and subframes must be punishing.
Chrysler has a history with NASA. At one time they built some of the most important rocket engines and components for the space agency, and played a critical part in getting our astronauts to the moon. http://www.allpar.com/history/military/missiles.html http://www.allpar.com/history/military/chrysler-and-NASA.html http://www.allpar.com/history/military/moon.html
Reminds me of when Kmart and Sears joined up.
The real question is how is this going to improve my satellite dish reception?
