Toyota will soon be the largest car manufacturer in the world, primarily because they continue to gain marketshare from the rest of the automakers. Like it or not, it's reality. |

I like the fact that Toyota has been allowed to compete in the Nextel Cup for the same reason that I like that Juan Pablo Montoya came into NASCAR...diversity makes for better competition and legitimacy.
TRD takes racing on all levels very seriously, but I think that Toyota will take some lumps this year, and lots of them!
The pessimist in me sees Chevy finding some sort of way to hamstring TRD if Toyota ends up with a winning product, just like they did with Dodge when it came to the Superbird and the Hemi.

I hate Chevy. It killed me when JGR went Chevy and not Ford or Dodge. I kinda hope Toyota gives Chevy a run for their money.

Why not let all car manufacturers compete? Doesn't make sense to me. (not a fan of the sport)

You have to make car's within the states. Not necessarily the car (model) used in NACAR.

I don't hate Chevy, I just prefer Ford. I'm looking forward to the new Camero coming out. I like the Vette's especially the Z06 (all 500hp!!!). Hell, I even like Jr.
The first thing Toyota has against them is Michael Waltrip. Sure he's won some races but he and his cohorts are going to get there butt's handed to them. I've been following track testing a little and Toyota is sucking wind on most outings.

To quote Robbie Gordon: "Michael Waltrip is a piece of sh1t!"
He's so phony. You always see him as some sort of great family man, but I know for fact he's a philandering idiot.

Maybe, but when I met him out in the dunes outside of Yuma he seemed pretty cool. He didn't come on to a friend of mine's wife like a freight train right in front of him!

LOL! I cut him some slack because he's DW's brother.
