Interestingly, Toyota could be our best bet to reestablish the connection between Indy car racing and the short tracks.
Once Toyota enters NASCAR, its block will be eligible for SC. The SC engines require iron blocks with 355 displacement - basically they are WC blocks, injected, on alcohol.
Ford has brought their new block into SC (go JJ!), Mopar has brought their block in, why shouldn't Toyota?
Chevy hasn't been proactive in marketing through SC/USAC, but Mopar/Chrysler has and Ford clearly is getting more direct in their involvement. The problem is that they aren't involved in the IRL.
Wouldn't it be ironic if it is Toyota's involvement in both USAC and the IRL that brings the two together?
Hmmmm.....
