I was already a big motorhead before I became a nascar fan in the early 90’s. I already favored GM products, Pontiac and Chevrolet specifically, and disliked Ford. This is before I picked a driver. So I had my prejudices about auto manufacturers before I became a race fan. So, why should I just drop my auto manufacturer preferences just because a driver decides to switch. (My favorite driver has switched to Dodge, but I can deal with it….at least it isn’t Ford or Toyota.)

OMG!!! Thank You! I absolutely agree!!!!! I think the same way although I want Jeff Burton to win! I don’t care about what kind of car he drives, what it looks like, who the sponsor is or isn’t, I watch the race to see JEFF BURTON not his car!
Anyways Tony Stewart and the rest of JGR should not have a problem switching to Toyota, Tony is a great driver! Its not gonna matter what make a car he drives, he’s a WINNER no matter what!
Go RCR!!!
Go Jeff Burton!!!

Okay, To some, the car matters as much as the driver. Some people don’t care who the driver is that wins as long as it’s out of this garage and powered by this engine (let’s say Chevy for arguments sake). But here is the reality… I have bought a lot of vehicles in my day and I have yet to buy any of them that have the same package as any of the cars on the NASCAR circuit. Period. The cars that are driven on the circuit are no more Chevys, Fords, Dodges, or Toyotats than the professsional dragster that John Force drives is. The emblem on the front of the vehicle merely identifies one of the primary sponsors associated with the team.
I will say however, that the Toyotas will have a couple of hard years ahead of them simply because the American automakers have been backing the sport for a long time and Toyota is going to have to play catch up – just like they did in the Craftsman truck series.
I fully agree with the COT (car of tomorrow) concept since it is going to level the playing field and make the driver’s abilities, along with his pit crew, win the race instead of minor deviations that have been overlooked for so long that has allowed a few racing monopolies to hoard all the glory.
I agree it should be about the driver, not what “make” of car he is driving or what team he is driving for.

To some people make and model of car is just as important as the driver. American is the way this race was set up and some are resistant to change. Everyone is entitled to feel how they want whether everyone agrees or not they have a right to their own opinion. If you have ever been to a truck/car event it is more than clear that make of the vehicle is just as important to some as the person inside.

Okay you are a Tony Stewart fan. Same as if Jimmie Johnson started driving a Toyota I would still be a fan. That is driver loyalty and I understand that. As long as Nascar has been around you have had the loyal Chevy guys, the loyal Ford guys etc. when you get a new car in the mix it takes awhile for people to adjust. In a few years you will have the loyal Toyota guys. Nothing to get upset about.

CALM DOWN!!!
I guess I am wasting my time because your way is the only way in your small world that is.
I have drivers that I want to win. They are most likely CHEVY drivers. I really never root for a ford driver from the start of a race. I have a favorite or two but they are Chevy drivers not ford or Toyota. Always have rooted for Chevy I buy Chevy’s not fords to drive.
If it gets down to a couple ford drivers and no Chevy on the track then I really don’t care who wins.
Has any driver that I liked changed to a ford or Toyota not yet so I guess maybe when that happens I will root for him but if he has to get beat I hope a Chevy driver is the one to do it.
You don’t love racing you love Tony Stewart and what ever he drives. I love racing and root for a bunch of drivers not just hung up on one person like you are.
To say you or I or the Jolly Green Giant is a better race fan than the other because of what floats there personal boat is asinine. I love racing from the salt flats to track and field. Always have always will and to say your better than me because I like Chevy’s well I guess your the stupid one.

Down right rude and childish to yell. You could have stated your opinion without it or ridiculing others and calling them stupid.
I have always purchased GM products to drive and always will. This does not mean I make my selections of who I favor as a driver though. That is secondary to having always followed Dale and then HMS. They just happen to drive a GM.

I agree with you 100 percent. I picked the driver not the manufacturer. I will follow him no matter what kind of car he drives.
