They lost all old hard core fans when they let Toyota in, a Japanese V6 family car should have never been allowed in the series, period.
I feel its going in the right direction now with Ford using the Mustang and Chevy using the Camaro. Those are true, rear wheel drive sports cars. But it may be too late. And of course, the Camry is still buying wins with Toyota's deep pockets and massive desire to take over.
The bodies need to remain consistent with the production car and if it wasn't offered with RWD and a V8 engine, it should not be allowed to compete. Get rid of all the stage racing and chase BS and go back to the tried and true way of racing, and get rid of the excess "cookie cutter" 1.5 mile tracks, add more road courses and short tracks like Martinsville and Bristol. It can be saved, but will the current ownership do it, likely not.
Yes, and I don't know what they were thinking when they allowed Toyota in.
