I think I'm going to boycott the chase.

The Fall Classic is coming up in a few weeks.

Foreign cars and foreign drivers do not belong in Nascar.
Nascar races should not be run in Mexico or Canada.
There are plenty of other racing series people from other countries can go to drive. They can drive whatever car they want, just not in Nascar.
Nascar was the only Good Ol' Boy true American sport left. Now it is just like the others.
It was wrong that JGR is switching to Toyota.
I am very disappointed in Nascar for allowing Toyota into the series in the first place. I am disappointed in teams for using Toyotas. I am disappointed in the drivers for agreeing to drive Toyotas. And I am disappointed in the fans who cheer for Toyotas, their drivers and their teams. (That's a lot of disappointement, isn't it...lol ) But we all know that money talks.
If Home Depot Continues to support Tony Stewart in a Toyota, I will no longer buy a thing from them. I don't mind driving another 10 minutes to Lowes.
Gibbs...you are a sellout.

GREAT RANT!

Thus my handle 'solaraslayer.'

I hate that the Toyota Solara got better reviews than the Monte.

Everytime I see a Solara, I run circles around.

Too bad it is usually an old lady driving it.

I hate that the Solara is even compared to the Monte.

SolaraSlayer: I have read many posts you have written and I never knew the meaning of your name. I love it!!!! I can't believe that some would compare the Solara to the Monte. I guess some can compare my Silverado to a wheel barrow, since they can both haul cow manure!

Space: Your post was very well written and I definitely respect your right to have your own opinion. That is what makes us gentlepeople. And I agree when you say that "may the best" win...and we all know that Chevy is the best

That Silverado line is too funny!

I know what Space is saying and it holds a lot of intelligence and validity.

I just think that some things should be kept sacred for sacred's sake.

I agree with you SolaraSlayer. After all, it is the National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing. Not the International Association of....

Nascar used to be an AMERICAN tradition.
