GM has been out of nascar before, actually out of pretty much all racing for a while.
it is nice to see that companies are realizing that production based racing is what helps sell cars on monday. i woudl be happy to see the big 3 get back into the grass roots of it.
chrysler did great things in the 90's with the ACR program, but didn't promote it very well. it pains me to say this, but the neon ACR was the only car in history to win catagories at pikes peak, IDRC and NOPI drag racing, NHRA national events, SCCA pro rally, and at the SCCA run offs all in the same year. all that with a car that could maintain 30mpg, was always at least 2 years ahead of federal safety regulations and only went for about $20k equiped.
