Toyota Camry in Nextel Cup 2007

this has been a long term attempt to kill the big 3 faster.

Lets assume Toyota somehow manages to kill the big 3. Doesnt that suggest more that the big 3 havent got a clue how to survive?

[Dino Scuderia]

It isn't mayhem...and furthermore there are thousands of Toyota owners already in the NASCAR fan base so it is a smart move for Toyota....and a good thing for NASCAR and it's income/exposure.

Well i can certainly see it help try and break its redneck image

[MrKipling]

That's not an image, that's just the sport.

That's like saying 'trying to break football's poncy image'. It's not an 'image': football IS poncy, just like NASCAR IS 'redneck'

F1 and Le Mans has more fans in the world than nascar fans

My ass F1 and Le Mans put together doesnt even have as many fans as nascar.

You are right, now I wish I was the boss at Ford, I would do a much better job for Ford than Bill Ford, I love Ford, but I now that they(Ford,GM,I don't even count Chrysler) are doing some stupid things, if only the Big 2 had a take charge attitude(remember the GT40, and the Cammer engine, Ford could beat everyone if they weren't slacking off). For those that don't know about the Cammer:http://www.supermotors.org/vehicles/...sue01-a2-1.php
I'm saying they could win if they would just take charge, but I guess this will be a lesson to Ford, GM, and Chrysler. They could fail because Toyota is doing more things, while Ford puts Fusion stickers on the old Taurus Nascar and call it the new Fusion race car. And Toyota joining Nascar, and the others slacking while Toyota is on the prowl does start mayhem for me and the true loyalists to the Big Three.

He may have a point. 95-97% of NASCAR fans (This is an estimate on my behalf) lie in the U.S. I'm sure the number is huge, but then this mainly ranges in the South, diluting the number even more. Formula 1 and LeMans have fans EVERYWHERE, so that low amount of fans from each country may total to be higher than that of NASCAR. Then again, this is only a hypothesis.

In the US yes but you should think quality not quantity...

There were 300,000 Danish fans alone at Le Mans 2005

Some years the Daytona 500 has more viewers then the Super Bowel. I think thats somewhere around 100 million

I couldn't give a **** about the Daytona 500

[SolidStradale]

Oh don't be jealous that the Daytona 500 attracts more fans then a F1 race or Lemans.

[MrKipling]

Why would he? They're both clearly better than NASCAR!

AHAHAHAHAHAHA I laugh at your stupidity Have you even seen the the number of TV viewers for Le Mans or the Monaco GP?

[fpv_gtho]

I think even Bathurst can get 100mill viewers...Thats an easy target if its a broad product.
