NY_Bowhunter14 Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 They are actually bringing a forgein car into their sport, Toyota is coming to NASCAR in 2007. NASCAR is an AMERICAN sport, not a mixture of both, you want both, go watch the Indy cars or something, leave NASCAR an AMERICAN aport!!!

dg Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Re: NASCAR is ruining \"NASCAR\" They have been in the trucks for a couple years now. Look out. They won the last 3 or 4 truck races in a row. My Tundra was built in the U.S. Illinois Archer said it: so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvantageTimberLou Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Re: NASCAR is ruining \"NASCAR\" I think what most people get mad about is the foreign competition in an american grass roots sport such as stock car racing. Not sure if it will hurt attendance or not, not sure if change is good either. Wait and see deal, thats all we can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowJoe Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Re: NASCAR is ruining \"NASCAR\" They will do the same thing they did when Dodge got back into the mix. Hire a bunch of struggling teams to run your Toyota and NASCAR gives them a break on the rules and the Aerodynamics package and voila'. You have integrated a foreign car maker into the blender.

Chrud Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Re: NASCAR is ruining \"NASCAR\" It's all about the $$$$$. NASCAR will do whatever it take to make things look good in the "pop culture's" eye. Unfortunately, it looks like crap in the die-hard, or former die-hard NASCAR fan's eye.

[/ QUOTE ] Sorry...but its AMERICAN car companies that are doing this. They want us to buy American...but they are the ones who are mixing the two together to try and earn an extra buck! examples...Ford Ranger and Mazda trucks...Chevy Avalanche and Honda Ridgeline. They are the same things. Another example...bought my wife an '04 Pontiac Vibe...Pontiac = GM right? Wrong...GM car with Toyota engine, interior etc...its a Toyota with a GM body! Foreign "junk" is here to stay...like it or not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slugshooter Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Re: NASCAR is ruining \"NASCAR\" This thread has gone downhill from the first post. First off, just because NASCAR was formed in America doesn't mean it is exclusively an American sport. Baseball started in America, so did football and basketball. Those sports are fully integrated and they are probably the better for it. So what if Toyota is entering the NEXTEL Cup, it's a free market isn't it? If they can compete, so be it, they have every right to be there as any other car manufacturer. As far as where vehicles are made, my Ford Ranger was assembled in Kansas City, the engine was built in Canada. There is a Honda plant and a BMW plant in South Carolina, there are Ford and Chevy plants in other countries. What does anyone care if someone in Japan makes money in NASCAR? There are worse things in the world than Toyota entering NEXTEL Cup. Like I said, if they can compete, more power to them. Good luck to Michael Waltrip and the new teams who will be running Camry's in '07. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VermontHunter Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Re: NASCAR is ruining \"NASCAR\" LOL... I'll bet the same thing was said by the Canadians when the Americans entered the sport of hockey.... Come on guys it's a car...and there's nothing stock about it,,, these things are built in house from the ground up,, it's all about the talent behind the wheel and in the pits....

I know I will not be going anywhere RCR thinks it will be alright ,people will just have to adjust not seeing chevy or ford ,dodge name out there no they are not stock, and I wonder will they be built at the racing shops or will they come out of one facility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But am I reading this right that Chevy Ford or Dodge will no longer exist in NASCAR in the future? [/ QUOTE ] Well, the main purpose of the thread was to complain about Toyota entering NEXTEL Cup, for those who wish to complain about it. Then it seemed to have taken a turn talking about the "Car of Tomorrow" that NASCAR has designed. I haven't read too much about it, seen pics mostly. From what it seems to me, the body design will be consistent no matter what engine you put under the hood, the design is also a little boxier, which, according to Brian France, will make the racing better because a lot of veterans have told him that the racing was better back in the 70's-80's when the cars were boxier. Only time will tell. Personally, I don't have a problem with Toyota entering NEXTEL Cup, but I don't really like the looks of the "Car of Tomorrow", looks kinda stupid if you ask me.
