Formula 1 is the true ultimate racing as far and driving and technology.

I just can't see myself watching more than a few laps of Nascar.

How many F1 races did you watch last season?

I guess that means none.

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

Fvcking idiots. Maybe cause its a foreign company. Maybe they want to keep this American sport American instead of bringing in non-american companies? I don't see why thats bad? Dumbass.

Chrysler (Dodge) is owned by a German company, so how are they any different?

Why not? They build cars here in America.

Camry - Built by Americans
Corolla - same
Tundra - same
Tacoma - same
Sequoia - same
Avalon, Solara, Matrix - same

Toyota just built a new truck plant in Texas and just got approved to build a dev center in Detroit. Only an a$$ would deny them entry into NASCAR

Anyone who calls someone racist simply because they do not want Toyota in the Nextel Cup league is simply a fool.

Won't matter anyhow. All the drivers capable of winning a championship are already signed up with Chevy, Ford, Pontiac or Dodge.

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.

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

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.

ROFL!

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

The highest finishing Toyota in the truck points was 3rd behind a Dodge and a Chevy guy. The Toyota guy won 5 races which was the most of any single driver but I also think he was the only toyota driver to win a race.

Doh Mike Skinner won 2 aswell. Fogot about him.
Anyway nobody is alowed to dominate in NASCAR.

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

ROFL!!!

The last time I checked, people who want the best bang for their buck (the smart people) buy products that performce well, not because the products' commercials/marketing or bells and whistles are awesometothemax

Yes, product sells but their products are boring to me (and don't perform to my standards) and it certainly doesn't help that their marketing annoys me to no end.

You make it sound like I'd be stupid not to buy a Toyota since apparently everything else is crap.

EDIT: I'd rather have no marketing than pisses-me-off-to-no-end marketing.

I thought in order to enter NASCAR you had to have a current product American car.

The Camry is built in Kentucky.

Chargers are built in Canada IIRC

I was under the impression the car had to be designed and produced by a domestic car company. Basically only the big 3.

Give it a few years. Toyota will find a team to be their flagship team and the offer will be too good to refuse.

Dodge is brand of a German based company and its Charger is built in Canada.
Toyota is a Japanese based company which builds its Camry in Kentucky.

It's a global economy...things change and NASCAR has to adapt.

I'm not a nascar fan or a racist but it does sadden me a little to hear this. I can't really think of any "good" reason. I liked it better when it was a "southern sport" with American cars driven by "rednecks". In the end it is a business though.........
