The Super Beard contest pays tribute to the all-new Dodge Charger R/T commercial "Man's Last Stand." Whether he's walking the dog at 6:30 a.m., eating more fruit, putting the toilet seat down or watching vampire TV shows with his significant other, "Man's Last Stand" offers an inside look at the lengths men will go to in order to drive the car they want.

Through the new commercial, the Dodge Car Brand begins to re-establish its commitment to consumers who love driving expressively designed vehicles that serve as a form of self expression and are exhilarating to drive, while informing all viewers that the Dodge brand has a renewed energy and focus.
