WHY did Nascar let Toyota in: and not any other manufacter in?

I personally believe for a model to be depicted as a NASCAR "Stock" Car the manufacturer must produce a minimum number of those cars in the United States. Make it a reward for producing jobs in the United States. Of course if this was the case I don't know if the Big 3 could race their current cars because they are manufactured in Canada and Mexico. NASCAR does not discriminate between U.S. and foreign companies and allows those makes who are willing to build cars and engines that are allowed under the rules to race in their series. I'm sure Toyota will not be the last to race in NASCAR, and yes Ford and Dodge do still compete. Keslowski won the Nationwide title and Kurt Busch made it in the chase driving for Penske who has kept Dodge alive in the sport and Ford has always had a large presence in NASCAR.

Toyota wanted in. They paid a lot of money and built a car that met NASCAR rules. BMW and Jaguar didn't want in or to spend the money.

Dodge and Ford do compete. Dodges problem is they only have 1 team. With less cars to get data from you have a harder time being competitive in such a fast changing sport. Ford just got behind but towards the end of the year they were doing much better.

What planet are you on? i anticipate that you're speaking about Toyota's capacity. no one'S dishonest!! The engines are thoroughly inspected always. Toyota has got here across something that no one else has. that is the entire aspect about the pastime. On paper, all the autos should be similar. yet you've were given a collection of mechanical engineers who're geniuses. Toyota's been on the NASCAR map for years in the truck sequence and had a similar earnings initially. i do not quite like Toyota being in the pastime, yet they meet the criteria as an American man made motor vehicle. Over seventy 5% are made in u.s.. they have raised the bar for engine technologies or maybe as the others catch up, the followers win because it really is going to advance the racing. in case you examine the information(Do you do not forget that be conscious?) you'll see NASCAR remains transforming into. the boom has slowed, yet that is to be envisioned. i'm a not person-friendly midsection Jr. fan yet i am going to allow you to comprehend this. Kyle Busch is as proficient a driving force as I surely have considered in my 30+ years as a racing fan. i might want to be keen to wager that your attitude is a effect of your well-liked driving force being beat with information from a Toyota. get over it and get genuine! the entire one is in large denial.

Because nobody else asked to be in Nascar and Toyota had to build there own push-rod engine etc. do be allowed to be in Nascar. Nascar doesn't NOT let manufactuers in. They'd be shooting themselves in the foot.

Dodge and Ford do compete. I don't see a problem with a single 'Dodge team owner' since they won the Nationwide Series Championship and finished in the chase in Cup.

VW is talking about putting an effort in Nascar, I personally don't want to see any European cars in Nascar.

foreign cars have participated in NASCAR events in the past. jaguar, VW and others have made appearances. when NASCAR was young these race cars were showroom stock, which allowed many different types of cars the ability to compete. (see link below) this is different times and the rules have changed over the years. these cars are no longer stock, they are pure bred purposely built race cars. Toyota is here to stay. like it or not others will eventually follow. the manufacturer has to be willing to conform to the specifications that NASCAR requires for a car design to be allowed to compete. Toyota did that, VW is currently looking into this as well. will it happen? YES, its inevitable. foreign cars are a part of the American life style. if it is a profitable and marketable venture other manufactures will follow Toyotas lead.

NASCAR didn't "let" Toyota in. Toyota "got" in to NASCAR and saw a market for their brand by spending big bucks in NASCAR like the American auto companies. They made a great choice by doing so because there's a huge market for them to the NASCAR fan base and for many of the fans made buying a Toyota just that much more acceptable.

Jaguar and BMW probably don't see a reason to waste tons of money marketing to NASCAR fans.....fact is, most NASCAR fans don't and won't drive them based on the demographics of the sport.

Because no other manufacturer has asked. Anyone willing to play by NASCAR's rules can probably get in if they WANT to.

FYI, Volkswagen reps are meeting with NASCAR sometime this month.

I don't really know how seriously these companies have tried to get into Nascar. I say the more manufacturers, the better. I would welcome BMW, Volkswagen, or anyone else.

The sanctioning body has to evaluate, and plan manufacturer's debuts to the sport.

So if any changes, you'll have to stay tuned to nascar.com for that.

cause itd bring in money. BMW or Jaguar? are u serious? id seriously quit watching if they did that. Go Chevy!
