  • Toyota to run Nextel Cup in '07

    I wondered when the day would come. What do you all think? Good idea? Bad idea? How will they do?

    Are you going to donate both of your Camrys to the cause, 3?

    Seriously, my guess is Toyota will do quite well. Maybe not right out of the box, but fairly quickly. Of course, I should leave that opinion to the more knowledgable Cup fans around here, but I couldn't help responding to my good buddy from Beantown.

      It's 'managed competition' so I suspect Toyota will do what the other manufacturers have done in the past with a new car. Come in with a superior aero package and be too fast and then Nascar makes the 'tweaks' to put them just a touch behind for the first year of the car.

          Remember when DOdge came to Nascar earlier this decade? Hmmmm how long did it take for the big D to take a checkered flag? Also, remember the whining..... I do.

            There is at least one Toyota announcement yet to come.

              ???Team Red Bull, with no owner, or employees at this time, but will get the factory support.

                Hey Niseguy, rumors are quite heavy about Cheever not being in the IRL, so I suppose Red Bull will throw money towards NASCAR.

                    jeffrey, the way Toyota was running, and winning, at the end of the 2005 Truck season, I can see them winning some events in 2007. Hope your plate of vomit is a small one!

                      Lots of Toyotas are built in the USA by lots of Americans.

                          And with the shape the "Big 3" are in, those jobs via Toyota including the spin off industries are very important to the American ecnomoy,

                            So..

                            ...I can go to my local Toyota dealer and ask to see the Camry V8, with rear-wheel drive ?
                            All rides are bought. But occasionally the currency is talent.

                              Yeah, drive it over to the Ford & Chevy dealers to compare with the Fusion & Monte Carlo. Let me know what you think.
