Would this make the old saying win on Sunday sell on Monday return?
If NASCAR wants to put more fans in the grandstands and in front of their TVs they need to make the cars that win on Sunday look more like the cars you can actually buy on Monday instead of the cookie cutter cars that are racing now! .
They have at least taken steps in the right direction. The wing or otherwise known as the bleacher seat is gone and the spoiler is back. Next year in the Nationwide Series Ford plans to race a Mustang and Dodge is bringing a Challenger. There is talk that those same cars could also come to Sprint Cup.
Changes to the front end on Sprint Cup race cars seem to be all but a done deal.
Chevy just doesnt get it, though. They are planning on racing an Impala, an Impala? thats grandmas car now, when they could be bringing a Camaro. Yup a Camero,almost a mean looking car again.
You know the car companies have a big say in what races on the track. If Chevy would race a Camaro it would bring some added excitement to racing and help sell more cars for Chevrolet. A Camaro would be good for NASCAR and Chevrolet.
But Chevy is at least keeping an open mind and listening to race fans who cant believe that GM would pass on the opportunity to race the Camaro GM racing boss Pat Suhy said Ill never say never when asked about the possibility of a Camaro in NASCAR. But so far the word from GM to NASCAR and race fans everywhere is no.
With Mustang, Camaro and Challenger to racing in the Sprint Cup Series with bodywork that actually looks like the cars down the street in the showroom fans would become more engaged with NASCAR.
There is no Ford vs. Chevy rivalry any more. Thats because no one can tell them apart on the race track. Come on NASCAR give us our stock cars back.
I know you have a lot of smart engineers working in your R&D Facility in Charlotte. Together with the automaker engineers I know you can come up with a car that looks like a stock car and still keep the cars even aerodynamically.
Would a Camaro, a Mustang, a Challenger and Toyotas new sports car make NASCAR more exciting for you? Would you be more likely to buy one?
Whats your take on this,would you like to see a Camero vs Mustang vs Challenger vs Toyota whatever ??
Make yourself be heard on this subject, if you are reading this you have a computer,send a message to GM,to Nascar heck send one to Obama,seems as though he and his wife toyed with owning the big two.
