I don't know how the rest feel, but I tend to feel very strongly about changes in NASCAR. But over time, I being to except some of the changes.

A current change I'm not to happy with right now is the fact that NASCAR is brining in toyota. Isn't NASCAR an American sport? I mean, yes it's American to have a mixture of difference, but not in racing. Things should be left alone in the car department. Chevy, Ford, Dodge, and even Poniac have been around since practicly the start of NASCAR.

Well I think it's great that Toyota is coming to NASCAR. Ford Chev and Dodge need to lose a few more races and prestige to make them think more about how to design better cars.

You can bet that if Toyota makes it in Nascar, Honda will follow suit.

Good lord, can't you guys look at Toyota as the same challenge that Dodge was when they came back in?

So what if they're Japanese? Good grief.

But Dodge isn't from the other side of the world!

But I am glad that Toyota joining will make Nascar more competative.

I don't think there is cause for concern...Only 2 toyota's are even locked into the field...being Blaney and Jarrett.

Actually, during the first few years of the sport NASCAR contained many vehicles that wern't of American origin.

Don't flip out so much. The only thing that's truely Japanese about Toyota is the name. The toyotas we drive in USA are made in American. And they're also made of steel from America, regardless if they're manufactured in USA or Japan.

It has as much a right to be in nascar as does Chevrolet, seeing that's a French word.


Note: I posted this in a topic similar to this one yesterday.

You need to check your sources. Michael Waltrip is driving a Toyota. Plus Michael Waltrip's 00 car will also be a Toyota. There's also Brian Vickers.
