Comments on: BAM Racing switches to Toyota http://autoracingsport.com/nascar/bam-racing-switches-to-toyota-engines-from-bdr/ The place for NASCAR news and rumors where the discussion rages...

Richard briefly drove a Ford (1969), Chevy (1978), and Buick (1981). But he alwaays returned to his Plymouth/Dodge roots, and his successors in the 43 and Kyle, of course, have been stuck in Dodges for years. One would have hoped that the move to the COT would have helped the teams loyal to Dodge to be more competitive, but that doesn't seem to be happening. If PE is serious about continuing in Cup they're going to have to switch manufacturers. I'm tired of seeing the 43 and 45 running at the tale end of the field in race after race.

Davis has a proven history of negative dealings with manufacturers(Dodge) and also with personnel. This will eventually cost BAM. Why would anyone consider a merge with BDR.
