Is anyone else upset that the Nextel Cup will have Toyotas next year?
Answers:
Yeah, I'm pissed! This is an all American sport, we should stick to American made cars. You can thank DamnDarrell Waltrip for promoting the Toyotas, too. My opinion of him has went to the shitter!
Nah. I can careless what cars they drive. As long as they stick to the regulations who cares. It is nice to see some variety come to a sport with little changes.
And if Nascar wants to get rid of the "Good ol' Boy" image it has and step up into the ranks of the NFL and MLB, this change can be very good. I think most peeps fear Toyota coming because what would happen if they won the chase next year.lol
NASCAR has gone down hill since Nextel started sponsoring it. That lucky dog rule needs to go
Yes, they don't belong in Nextel.
yes i am,i think it should just have AMERCIAN made cars in it since it originated in AMERICA
Not at all. I think it speaks well of the caliber of competition in NASCAR that it has attracted the attention of one of the world's largest auto manufacturers. And for those people who think that the Nextel Cup should only be for American cars, the Camry is built in Kentucky.
I don't think so.
The reason why they appear in Nascar is that they gave up trying to penetrate the American market using Formula 1, which Americans think is rubbish, and although they continue the F1 program, they try different ways to get to the Americans.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHY YOU AMERICANS THINK FORMULA 1 IS DULL! IT'S ONE OF THE BEST MOTORSPORTS IN THE WORLD, PLUS IT'S A WORLDWIDE SPORT!!
I like it, the more the merrier. If you thing there are not foreign parts rolling around the track already, you are sadly mistaken.
Take Chevy for instance, they already have some Denso parts in them.
Just like Toyotas have some AC Delco parts in them.
No. The name Toyota brings more prestige to nascar as a series since toyota is a japanese company. However, people seem to forget that the cars are almost exactly the same except for the front bumper design. The chassis, engines, and all the parts are made by nascar approved race shops not in the regular manufacturers' factories and bear no connection whatsoever to the road cars that they are modeled after. So, I don't care if hyundai, subaru, mazda, porsche or ferrari start nascar teams. Their cars would still be nascar approved using the same parts as the other cars.
Yes it's an american sport so keep it american.!
No way, now we will see some good racing. Anyone who owns a Toyota knows what I am talking about. This company can build a GREAT car.
i think that they need to keep them out, what is nascar thinking??
As far as it goes, most people are upset over Toyota because they are a foreign company coming into a sport that is an "All American" sport. If you look at things in general, Toyota's are made mostly in the US so it is not really a foreign thing. More "American" cars and their parts are made outside the US so why not be upset about that. Look at Detroit surrounding area's as the job market is highly decreasing there due to jobs being taken out of the country. Toyota's are made in Tennesee, Ky, Ohio, and other places so what about that. I just thought I would give you something to think about because I think it would be an asset to see them in Nascar next year. They are in other car races and nobody seems to be complaining about that!
I could care less
AMERICAN ONLY
All NASCAR fans need to get over it & move on. With the way Ford & Chevy Corps. are doing we may loose them in the future... or not. But They did well in the other series..
look out.theres a new competitor out there.no.
To everyone who complains about Toyota not being an American car. It is just as American as a Chevy Monte Carlo or Ford Fusion. Exactly where do you think the Camry is being built? Who do you think is building all the parts? That's right - Americans. Get some facts before you get all P O' d. Dodge. Now there's a real American company, owned by Germans. I don't hear anyone complaining about that. Get a life. It's just racing and the world is an ever changing place.
I'm upset because NASCAR is an American sport, not a Japanese sport!
If they are competitive, or winning races, the teams, sponsors, and American car makers will lobby to get rid of them.
I'm glad they got rid of Chrystlers and I think that it is a good mixture right now and im actually not sure what I think about Toyotas because their is going to be alot of issues that are going to happen.
I can't believe the amount of xenophobia on this subject! Surely another high profile manufacturer adding it's name to NASCAR will attract more international fans and sponsors - which will increase the TV coverage worldwide and put more bums in seats on raceday.
It can only be good for the sport.
Why are you so upset about Toyota, is it just that they aren't American, or is it an image thing, would you object to Alfa Romeo, BMW, Mercedes, Ferrari, or Jaguar. What about foreign drivers do they upset you too, will Montoya receive a barrage of beer cans, how can the teams and drivers of the Nextel Cup be considered world class if they are not going to compete globally, It should be seen as an honour that one of the biggest car manufactures in the world has chosen to compete in your National championship, despite the fact that they have had to re learn about cast iron engine blocks and carburettors
NASCAR.....national association stock car auto racing.....toyotas are made here in the USA,why not have them in nextel cup?they have been in craftsman trucks for how long now?
