    Yep.. My father-in-law (and several of his good old boy friends) are in dis-belief. I have heard several of them say "thats it, I'm done."

    So what teams will make the jump over to Toyota in '07??

    Waltrip-Jasper Racing & Bill Davis Racing come to mind! But wonder if any of the big players will switch like Penske....

    If anything, as in real life, the Toyota should be able to do several thousand laps before coming in for servicing (as opposed to a domestic veeee-hick-el...)

    So does this mean that Toyota is going to start offering their 4.8L V8 in the Camry?

    Probably about the same time that Ford, GM, and Dodge start offering carbureted, rwd, V8-powered versions of the Taurus, Monte Carlo, and Intrepid.

    I say go Toyota! Kick some redneck ass!

    The Taurus is dead it was replaced with Fusion Stickers, and the Intrepid was replaced with Charger Stickers I believe.

    I don't think they do anymore! Plus the "Car of Tomorrow" will start competing in '07 and it's a all new Common Template car.

    I kinda figured that Waltrip would go to Toyota, because of his brother's involvement with them.

    Who knew sponsors were that desparate to have a cup car? I thought the owners had to find the sponsors.
