I believe NASCAR stands for North American Stock Car. not North ASIAN STOCK CAR.

Actually, it stands for National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing.

I have a good friend that works for Penske Racing, he told me that the first Toyota engine that Gibb put together they picked up 35 HP over the TRD built engines, thats a pretty big jump!

Not meaning to sound like a jerk or anything by asking this, but why would a guy who works at Penske know the horsepower increase of a Gibbs-built Toyota engine?? Or rather, how would he know?

For a brief second it kind of brings to mind the whole mclaren-ferrari scandle

Dodge takes it one-two. Poor Tony Stewart had it in the bag until the two Penske Dodges went right on past on the back stretch after the white flag.

I was Very surprising to see Dodge do so well. I think they had 6 of the first 8? Tony can go get drunk on Rice Wine now and pout
