    NASCAR is a joke !!! They dont race stock cars and have not since the early 70's. All the junk they drive is old technology, tubed frames cover by fiber glass. That is not stock car racing it is a ripe off.

    I think they should all go back to real stock cars (lightly modified). If Americans would buy USA built cars instead of ricers we would not be in this fix. Go test drive a Kia if you really want to find out what junk really is.

    Putting German logo on as NASCAR junker is just a sticker. Nothing more...

    The whole NASCAR thing WAS an April Fools Joke. I called NASCAR PR in Daytona and Mike Dushane Executive Editor of Car and Driver dot com Mike very rudely hung up on me when I said it was in bad taste. If you would like to call Mike his desk phone is 734-352-4310.

    You might think it is funny but there are no lessons learned on the NASCAR track related to improving any production machine. That was why stock car racing we back by the big three back in the day.

    Today its like pro-stock drag racing (I have owned and run 2 pro-stockers) as well as a world record holding drag boat. Nothing on either had anything to do with production betterment. Although the drag boat had a hull built by Cole you could not go in a buy that haul as it as custom built by Cole for my team.

    All I am saying is the brand on a NASCAR machine has nothing to do with the any production car....Its not "Stock Car" racing.

    Exactly why I could care less if the story is true or not...


    That what I'd rather see...Go to the local dealer, pick one, and see who really does build a better car.
