i knew they would figure it out fairly quick.

It's not a matter of figuring it out, its the fact that they stepped up and sponsored a well established team in JGR.

You're not gonna win squat with Michael Waltrip and Dale Jarrett.

1 and 2 with Rowdy Busch and Smoke. Tony Stewart was pissed off at Goodyear today for the weak tire setup they brought to Atlanta. Can't wait until Bristol next week. It should be awesome, short track racing is great. Joe Gibbs just has more experience than Waltrip and his crew.

what about carl edwards cheating last week in his ford fusion. one of the head guys at toyota did some windtunnel testing with part that failed inspection on the ford. ticked jack roush off, and he called toyota some ''ankle biting chihuawas''.

Good 1-2 finish today but someone aksed me a question that I could not answer.

Other than the sponsor and a sticker that says Toyota - what makes it a Toyota car? As far as I know all NASCAR racecars are the same.

As of the new COT Platform all "cars" are Identical
The power plant aka;drive train is the only difference between them.
All the real racing is on its way to the ditch if the France grip isn't broken soon.
Tundra dominates the Truck Series

every manufacturer has a different front nose and rear end. every manuf. has their own engines(toyota,chevy,ford,dodge).

Congrats Toyota,
Had to know Gibbs would get this done. It's just a shame he's doing it with the two biggest punk a** drivers on the tour.

was surprised that SPEED had difficulty with the interview/reception, Tony was giving just towards the end of it, i guess NASCAR could not listen to Tony's crying about Goodyear and the product that he seems to talk bad about WEEKLY! so they cut his interviw short, that was funny, this issue with him and Goodyear is nothing new, he just hates driving on a different tire every weekend and i do not blame him, they should come up with a standard tire for all tracks and leave the compounds alone which they change weekly. How can anyone drive with different compund tire every week? just seems unsafe to me and i feel that is his point but it is what it is? Smoke is a little critical but Champs can do that and get away with it, did yall se that Black GTO he bought at Barrett Jackson a while back? SWEET ride!
