That's How We Roll
American Muscle. Ford Tough. Chevy, grrrrr. Dodge, beasts. Toyota... err, huh?
Toyota made the big announcement that they will be entering cars in the NASCAR Nextel Cup and Busch Series races after a successful foray in the Craftsman Truck Series.
This is huge and will be sure to bring about unprecendented changes.
The changes include:
Toyota will enter ONE car at the beginning of the year and run that same car throughout the series.
Toyota's car will never be rebuilt or require any maintenance outside of an oil change every 3,000 miles.
Toyota's pit crew will consist of 1 person instead of a massive crew of men. Her job will consist of making sure the driver is topped off on his Big Gulp.
Even pushing 750 h.p., Toyota's car will get 35 mpg and thus need no fill-ups during the race. The car will also be as quiet as a vaccuum cleaner and meet 2050 emission standards set by Greenpeace.
At the end of the racing year, Toyota will actually sell its car (as a Certified Toyota, of course) on a used car lot for more than they paid for it. Ford, Chevy and Dodge will promptly scrap their fleet of vehicles to make sheet metal.
No HANS devices or special roll cages will be required for Toyota's car. The Camry is safe enough by using it's stock airbag and seatbelts.
