I still don't consider Toyota as a contender in NASCAR and whoever drives one I won't pull for period. Call it what you want, I won't pull for the Japanese auto maker.
Patty, I agree, when the Mustang showed up in Nationwide I was pumped that Cup would run them, same goes for the Challenger, the Charger is OK but, the new Challenger is B.A. and if Cup would run the Mustang, Challenger and Camaro it might start attracting more viewers, I mean, who don't like to watch the sport cars run, not Mom and Dad sedan.
As for the question , let me put it another way...during the era of production what car would one liked to have seen run? Put another way, what car that got passed over would you have liked to have seen run during it's production?. Sorry for the confusion.
Over the years I've seen a few photos of the 1972 Olds Cutlass 442 built for stock car racing; The 72` Cutlass 442, with it's distinguished twin grills, sleek design and strong motor seemed to be a likely candidate for Cup racing but as history shows very few of this muscle car ever graced the track.
What era of production of a make and model would you have liked to have seen in Cup racing that was otherwise not chosen by the car makers or teams? Not necessarily what car from the past would you like to see today, rather what car that got passed over would you have liked to have seen run during it's production? Mel Gillette, Michigan 1973 DNQ
Like The Legend, I have too many to list but if there's a few that are ultra rare, like my early Daytona pennant circa 1950's to the best of my knowledge, also a Darlington scarf with old stock cars on it made of real silk and no doubt from the 1950's. Lastly, I have a few racing promo posters, again, from the 1950's. As for old/new items...there's a 1937 modified Chevy in the garage..lol
For one thing he's not a southerner, he don't look like one, speak like one, or act like one. And he's not a northerner for the same description therefore, he must be an alien that has trespassed on the sacred grounds of NASCAR and he and his brother will soon be deported...he did not assimilate well into the NASCAR world, didn't learn the language or behavior. It's alright to be a hothead, just don't look and sound like an idiot when you do.
PK says "There's hope for this sport, if they'd just leave it alone and let it run itself more."
That sounds like a good prescription for the government too!!!
"He's a cheesburger eatin, beer drinkin, racer. I can identify with that." Really Jeff, that is the bottom line, Tony is a race car driver, not a politician and he doesn't put on no errands to be someone he's not.
