well toyota wants/wanted to get into nascar, i understand that nascar made toyota design and build a pushrod v8 to run.... and they are/were/have done it!



i'm interested to hear other thoughts, but heres 2 of my own.



nascars a bunch of suckers, toyota spent 400milllion last year in f1; to loose, nascars 20million is chump change.



and two, toyota cant seem to win anthing on pavement, they've tried at lemans a bunch of times and never won, going on 3 seasons in f1 again with no sucess, i dont think they will do any better in nascar, they have billions and billions of dollars but this hasnt helped them one bit

I think that Toyota will be disliked by the rednecks, hillbilly's and the rest of the shallow end of the gene pool that watches NASCAR.... lol

Mebbe it opens a fan base and TV market in Japan?



I think they should force the manufacturers to run a support race every weekend with showroom stock cars of what their "stock" car is supposed to represent.



Weld a cage, fire suppression and speed rated tires into an Intrepid off the dealer lot! I'd watch that race and turn off the main race.
