Because Toyota isn't a white company. That is the rednecks reason.

Well that's what I'm trying to figure. The only reason I can think of does have racial and/or anti-foreigners sentiment to it, which is sad if that is the case.

I just don't like Toyota and its their own fault. Their marketing department can kiss my ass.

On the other hand, I'd gladly buy a Silverado if I needed a full size truck

For statistical purposes, I drive a Japanese car

For a "sport" to be successful it's good to have someone or something you can root against. You should like Toyota entering, so you can cheer for them to lose.

Of course if they win, it doesn't work as well.

Eff Toyota. Never liked them coming into the Truck series and definitely don't like them coming into Cup.

It's more of a Natiionality thing than race


I lived in Japan when an American was the Sumo chanpo

and all the Japanese hated him

I think just for the fun of it, Nascar should have one race where they go in the opposite direction. It'll be pretty funny seeing all the drivers confused and hitting the wall.

They just don't want to get their redneck asses handed to them on a silver platter that reads Toyota.

Nah. I'd glady support Honda if they wanted to race in NASCAR. I liked Honda when they were involved with CART racing....hated Toyota though. For me its about product association.

we don't want them nips to kick our a$$es

seriously though, i resent the fact that toyota is going to be in it, simply because NASCAR basically represents the heart and sould of good ole southern racist america and anyways doesn't it seem that toyota is trying a little too hard to become 'americanized'

Brands are meaningless in NASCAR. Under the hood everything is changed from the stock car. Is just about who got the better engines, and who figures out the best way to deal with the restrictor plates. Problem with NASCAR is that all of the cars are American brands, they are trying to keep the American image. The last thing they want is having Japanese brand cars beating the American brand cars. That will probably hurt sales.

psh...racists...live with it. Toyota's the biggest car maker in the world right now. It's about time they're gonna be entering NASCAR

Yeah, it's always funny to watch how many cars crash during those two races.

Yes, I know they do have road circuits in Nascar but it'd be just funny if they used the regular oval but went in the opposite direction. Just think about the potential for confusion

Watkins Glen & Infineon don't count?

Maybe I'm ignorant, but there are people who purchase a certain car brand based on how they perform on the NASCAR circuit?

99% of non-Nascar fans have betterthings to do then debate this as it's a stupid use of mental power.

Certainly. That's why they don't want japanese cars entering NASCAR. It will hurt their sales. Ford and Chevy wouldn't be too happy about it.

"Win on Sunday, sell on Monday." Been true for decades.

Why would it be confusing if they run on road courses every year? If you haven't noticed Watkins Glen goes clockwise as well.

ROFL!

Or they jsut don't want Toyota dominating Nascar like they have since entering truck racing.

I suppose you think then that in real life the drivers only turn left as well. Like they have no idea that the steering wheel turns both ways.

Out of curiousity, which brand tends to be on top then?
