Toyota's Reception into NASCAR

[Ran]

so like i said....who wants to see a bunch of ford fusions, dodge chargers, and impalas go at it on the track when you can see what we have today go 200+mph

I understand where you're coming from, but what says we have have to limit it to Impalas and Fusions? Hell, I wouldn't mind seeing hoped up Mustangs, Camaros, Chargers, and Challengers out there fighting for the checkered flag. That could fun as hell, and there would be variety!

rally was very cool. i loved watching that shit. i guess nascar takes a certaint person to be able to watch it....i find it funny that most ppl cant comprehend it...even though most make it seem so simple....to me when i hear ppl say "nascar is boring..its just turning left" its the same thing as saying..."having sex is no fun.....you are just going in and out"

Not at all. I understand that it takes strength and skill to drive in a NASCAR race and I respect the drivers for what they do. Hell, I know that I'd be freaking out if I was driving 12in from three other cars at 210mph. The races, to me, are just kind of boring after about the 150th mile. Now, I've been to the Talledega race in person more than once and I'll admit that the atmosphere, partying, and everything else makes it a hell of a lot of fun.

im with you on that....it would be nice to have the sportier cars out there but ford, chevy, and dodge have other plans. they are trying to sell cars..beleive it or not this stuff still sells their cars. its easy to sell a mustang, camaro, vette, or one of the many "hemi" powered dodges.....but who wants a fusion? who wants an impala...intrepid anyone? v6 charger????? no one wants that but ppl see tons and tons of advertisement from these run of the mil cars that are affordable to the normal ppl. all the commercials about how fun the fusion is, the impala commercials are very youthful, and the dodge commercials always have high energy....hell, i even sometimes watch the commercials during the race and wonder if the fusion really is as fun...i know its not but some old geezer some where will go buy one. what wins on sunday sells on monday....and as long as thats the case you wont see sportier cars out there. and as long as cars keep getting less powerful and more luxurious you will get farther and farther away from seeing stock cars. people want speed.....some crazy looking car going 200mph is way more appealing than watching a ford fusion run 125 on the straights. no to emntion with all the safety rules and such by the time you took a stock car and had it legal guess what it would look like......tune in next sunday to find out

I'm not going to quote your post because it's f*cking huge, but there is nothing but truth in it.

I'm not a NASCAR fan, but I find it funny how all the "Proud Americans" are so upset about Toyota coming in Nextel Cup. First off, a lot of the heat died since Toyota hasn't done as hot as they did in the Truckman Series, but even still, the hate is definitely there. I also find it funny thatl the Ford Fusion production car is made in Mexico while the Toyota Camry production car is made here in the U.S. Of course, I'm sure that 98% of the rednecks watching NASCAR don't know this.

Anywho, I was just wondering what your take on it was.

No different than the hate domestics got when they started in the different drift events.
