It eats my guts out that a TOYOTA(can't say JAP)car could win the Daytona 500. This was an American sport born here and cheered on by people who had their local heros. Now we have foreign drivers from Formula 1, CART and others who's names I can't even pronounce coming into the sport. I understand that this is now all about the MONEY(Gibbs sold out Chevrolet)and we might also do the same thing, but it still sucks that another sport is going down the drain(for us older diehard fans) in the interest of EXPANDING THE FAN BASE and advertising.
