Toyota coming will no doubt dominate...?

If and when they switch to the Car of Tomorrow, Nascar will then be a lot like Iroc. I have mixed feelings about it though. On the one hand, it will even the playing field. On the other hand, It takes away the manufacturers rivalry.

MOST LIKELY IT WILL COME DOWN TO ALONSO OR SHUEY

Well, given the fact that their sucess is depending on Michael Waltrip Racing, I don't think they will make an impact next year! Dale Jarrett will be carrying the banner for Toyota, unless they get more and better drivers, but I don't think victories are on the horizon for '07.

Nobody knows right now, but it appears to be either for Toyota with the Red Bull team, the #88 car, or maybe even the #42 car.  \n\nIt is one of those situations that will sit out there as rumors until a deal if finally announced.

Actually, this is not true. NASCAR is controlled by Hendrick, Roush, Yates, Childress, and possibly DEI. They all own at least 5-10% stock in ISC, and bought it when Bill France Jr. gave up control of it. Everybody should know this.

I like it.  It will bring more sponsor dollars, so there will be more quality teams running.  I think they'll have a rough go of it at first, but long term they'll succeed.  I'll admit I'm having a little trouble getting used to the idea of a Camry as a race car...

Numbers don't like.  Jimmie Johnson is stellar at Lowe's Motor Speedway.  He has won the last 4 points races there, and added the All-Star race to his resume Saturday night.  This is his track, and he is the man to beat.  If he doesn't get caught up in a wreck or have some mechanical issue with his car, he will win the race.  I do think that the new surface will cause problems for many of the teams, as was evident in the Nextel Open and the All-star race Saturday night.  I don't think their will be as many cautions as there was last year.  Goodyear has brought a tire to the race that is harder than anything the drivers have ever run before, and it seems to have alleviated most of the problems the cars might have on the new surface.  And on a side note, to the person who tells us to turn to Superbike or F1 for "real" racing, please don't make unfounded unintelligent comments on something you know nothing about.  Last time I checked, F1 was dominated by only those teams willing to put hundreds of millions of dollars into their cars and programs.  You can have a guy with all the talent in the world who simply can't compete b/c he isn't backed sufficiently in regard to his finances.  There is so much more competitiveness involved in NASCAR when you factor in the finite mechanical aspects of the car.  And if F1 is so superior to NASCAR, then why can't a road course specialist (F1 or Indy car drivers) outrun NASCAR regulars on road courses such as Infineon or Watkins Glenn and win those races as a handful of such drivers attempt to do on both tracks each time NASCAR runs there?

Yates future is a little grim. First, rumor is Sadler is having some tumultious times there. They are struggling to compete against the heavy wallets of HMS and Rousch and the talent at JGR.\nThe best thing for Yates would be to team up with Roush, b/c as more teams come in and more drivers vie for open seats I think he's only going to struggle more. Right now there is kind of a lack of open driver's for the cup series. You've got some talent coming up in the Busch babies, but a lot of them are not ready for Cup yet, and some are too old to want to do cup. They don't want all the b/s  with it and enjoy Busch. So I dunno. I think it's going to be a very hard seat for Yates to fill, and I really think you'll see a smaller driver come in.

Thanks to Mrs.Thatcher and now Tony, our manufacturing industry has been transferred to China and India, as a result our service sectors dominating our market place. Who knows what will happen if Honda, Nissan and Toyota decide to move their factories from  the UK  to a cheaper and more cost effective alternative in the eastern europe. I can only guess that recession will follow and this may even affect the service sector.In my view,at the present time the service sector is the dominant labour market in the UK.

Well, I'm an American girl. I won't drive foreign cars. However, Toyota is becoming just as American as Ford and Chevy. Toyota is making some huge grounds in creating jobs and such in the states. I have to give them their props on that. It's not like Toyota is completely foreign anymore. I think it was Carl Edwards who said something about looking out in the parking lot and starting see just as many Toyota's for fan cars as there is Chevy and Ford.\nRahter it belongs in Nascar..yeah, I'm not really sure about that. Maybe it's b/c I'm so used to it being Ford/Chevy. Dodge coming back in sent shockwaves through, but not Dodge is a normal part of Nascar. I guess a big part of me is sitll like NO>> Keep it American, but then I have to remember Toyota is becoming pretty American. I didn't mind it so much in the truck series, but I just don't think I'm ready for it in the Cup series. I suppose I don't have a choice, and will have to deal with it next year regardless. I think you will probably see the Toyota teams really struggle for the first few years..so it's rather or not the teams can stick it through the struggles.

LOL. I hope that Nitro will lose the title to Mercury some time in the future.. Im waiting for that moment to happen. The chances are slim but anyway, i am waiting for this to happen.

Manufacturers will not release it because the car will be too good...hence they will not sell as many cars later.

The chances are cery slim. Considering the way, Sebastien Loeb and Daniel Elena along with Team citroen are going it is very difficult to stop them.

From the beginning, with AutoUnion later becoming AUDI, there has been an attitude of "advancing technology". This has been apparent for years, both in racing and the consumer market. Their domination will end when the corporate mentality changes, which seems rather unlikely. There have been several fairly sucessful diesel race cars, but AUDI takes the technology into the future.

I have a feeling Jimmie will finally win it after being so close the past two years. He's an excellent driver with a talented crew coming from a great team. He'll get it this year.
