And many more to come
You mean many more to come until Toyota puts the big three out of business and buys up every single Cup team, right? That is what half of the folks around here know will happen beyond a shadow of a doubt, right?
when 70 % of the field is a Chevy , somrthing would be wrong if they didnt win it.
I’m not to worried about Toyota Dominating Nascar, This is stock car racing not open wheel. I agree Toyota will buy there way into a few more top teams but I dont see any more Chevy teams defecting to Toyota. I’m sure Chevy would pull out from every other form of racing there involved in just to make sure they have the $ to stay on top in nascar. Also Justin it is more like 40% for the season and the last race. I do see Toyota out performing Ford and Dodge in the next few years though.
