That sucks about Hamilton. He was a good legendary racer. I always remember him in the STP car more than anything.
I miss the days when Jeff Burton drove the 99 exide, Darrell ? drove the quality care, Rudd drove the Tide, Terry Labonte drove the Kellogs number 5, Michael Waltrip drove the Citgo car, and Earnhardt Sr. was still alive. The good ol days before Stewart, Harvick, and Erhardt Jr came along.
I can't believe so many sponsors went with Toyotas. I am glad to see that there are at least more Chevys than Toyotas. I never thought I'd see the day where they outnumber Dodge and Ford though. Are the Toyotas aerodynamically efficient more than the others? Or do they just get better fuel economy? lol.
I remember when they initially switched from the Luminas to the Monte Carlos, they had wedge problems with the aerodynamics on the Chevys.
The sponsors should boycott Toyotas. Nothing against them, but they just don't belong in Nascar. Maybe one day we'll see Chevrolet or Dodge enter Formula one. lol.
