Its just very hard to get used to 'Yota and stock cars being mentioned in the same sentence.I miss the days of all of the American car makers were in Winston Cup.

Clogston brings up some very interesting issues.
Toyota will be putting large amounts of money on the table to get teams to make the switch.Don't be surprised to see teams like Petty
Enterprises make the switch  .You'll more than certainly see guys like Shrader or Nemechek in a Toyota for '07 too. |

Toyota has been good for the Truck series because they've brought in new energy and made the existing manufacturer's step up their games and they may do the same for the cup series. It will be interesting to see what owners make the move. Bill Davis is probably a given but the others could be interesting. Personally I don't see any of the big teams leaving Chevy or Ford but I could see and Everham or Penske make the move from Dodge to Toyota, especially with the recent aero issues with the dodge front end. Maybe some smaller teams like Cal Wells would make the move to Toyota if they promise more factory support.

The '07 Camry meets the requirements.Some folks had the same reaction when Ford introduced the 4dr Taurus.Speaking of Ford remember they're switching to the Fusion this year..........not much American about that car. |

True about the Fords. That Camary don't look like dat though.
I haven't seen a Fusion with a full aero package on it yet.
It's just the skin anyway tehy are all the same under the skin.

Well it looks like the first official drivers/teams have announced they're switching.
Mikey Waltrip is forming a new team Michael Waltrip Racing.Looks like he and current team mate Dave Blaney will make up the new two car team.Can't wait to see who else.
