The Allstate 400 and other random NASCAR news.

July 23, 2008

Well it's time for my favorite race of the year. The Allstate 400. However I'm somewhat upset that NASCAR is so hard up for cash that the formerly named Brickyard 400 is now named after a sponsor, seriously it is the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, I'm figuring a few of you may have heard of it.

In other news Ryan Newman is still searching for a team. He claims he's narrowed it down to two teams. I'm willing to bet good money, well at least a PBR's worth that he will be driving a Chevrolet next year and most likely with some guy named Stewart.

Lastly for the Nationwide series fans. Toyota has to present a new engine package to NASCAR. As you have noticed Toyota has won 14 of 21 races, reduced to lowest terms, 2/3's of the races. However nobody said anything over the past three years when the Chevrolets dominated both Nationwide and Sprint. I think what it boils down to, is the fact Toyota still has enough money to run their TRD (Toyota Racing Development) program, while Chrysler, GM, and Ford have had a really, really bad couple of years. The focus of those corporations is not on the development of racing technology, but how in the world to compete with Honda on selling cars. Speaking of Honda, the amount of money that corporation has, I hope they do NOT enter NASCAR, I think they could to quickly make everybody else race for second.

Well that is it for now, more news when qualifying happens.
