The cars actually look like the street versions of the same car. It's only Ford and Holden (GMs Aussie division), but it's good racing.

(I voted no to Toyota, BTW)

Ok I am gonna settle this. If you want only cars built in America to compete in NASCAR, you can allow Toyota, which the Camry is built in Kentucky, and Chevrolet, which the Monte Carlo is built in Michigan, in. Dodge Chargers, Canada built. Kick them out. Ford Fusion? Built in Mexico, kick that out too.

Frankly I would love to see more manufactures in NASCAR, go back to the olden days. For example: NASCAR's first ever road-course event at Linden Airport in New Jersey. What kind of car won? Jaguar! Don't believe me? Look it up. Go to the point where there was a Convertible series, there was makes like Chevy, Ford, Plymouth, AMC, but my favorite era of all, when Dodge was banned.

I say yes...why not let the SECOND LARGEST auto maker in America join in the most overhyped,overpaid,and overexposed form of racing in this country?http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16925346/

Who here is a NASCAR fan? If you are, How do you feel about NASCAR letting Toyota race in a TRULY AMERICAN LEAGUE? I for one don't like it, Because Toyota has NO history in the beginnings of the race. Never saw a Toyota Bootleggin', Did ya? Nope. Dave Despain said it best. "Racing in America, Is like Bush's Foreign policy. We'll do as we damn well please, And we Don't care what the rest of the world thinks of it." Don't get me wrong, I love OPEN WHEEL RACING. That is where Toyota belongs. But let us keep NASCAR.
PS: I know Toyota has been in Craftsman Truck Racing.
Don't mean I like it. Don't bother questioning my logic, You won't change my mind.
So Tell me what you think. I'm interested.
