Joe Gibbs Racing to Toyota
 

Its official. JGR will field Toyotas in 08, both Cup and Busch series. I'am having a hard time seeing Tony Steward in a Camry.

Thoughts.....Opinions......?

Isn't it basically a spec race now with the Car Of Tomorrow? Basically decals and artwork are all that separate one "model" from another. The Toyota V8 is pretty much a purpose-built race motor that utilizes what Ford and GM have learned with their small blocks more than anything Toyota learned in their other pursuits. I guess I just..don't..care...anymore......

JMO!

Tom...you and me both. The new cars are a far cry from the cars of old...they are full on race cars with sheetmetal that closely resembles the actual car. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif

February 18, 2001. The day that Nascar died. Just my opinion.

Bring back the days when NASCAR stock cars were production based cars that were modified for racing instead of this IROC variant that it's become. I could say the same thing for NHRA Pro Stock cars too. I miss the days when the cars were factory built cars that were modified for racing and many of the racers actually shifted their own gears. The fiberglass replicars that Pro Stockers have become are boring. I prefer to watch Stock and Super Stock.

Me too. I am angry that all they show on TV is F/C, T/F, P/S and the bikes...there are other classes you know! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Chatting with my Hero, Mr. Barnhart today and this exact topic came up. I could watch vintage SS or Junior Stock racing all day.

God I wish I had been at da Grove last weekend. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/mad.gif

I'd rather hear ol' Rusty Wallace crying that his Pontiac has an unfair disadvatage after winning 18 races in two years (93-94?) than try to convince myself those winged monstrosities have anything to do with STOCK cars !!

Just when I thought Denny Hamlin might make the sport interesting, he switches to that 4NJNK.

Re: Joe Gibbs Racing to Toyota
 

It's just another step to creating another PC sport. Level playing field for everyone, esp with the new cars......I'm in favor of trashing the point system.....Just race for the checker. If you win the most... the championship is yours..If there's a tie? Good old fashion Sat night 150 lap shootout. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

May he rest in peace, but I was never a DE fan.
