Oh, NASCAR won't change until they are almost bankrupt or they start losing to many teams. But they have the potential to be more than they are right now; more top teams, more manufacturers and more fans.

Which is exactly how it should be! Don't you find Ford vs. Chevy more interesting than Roush vs. Hendrick?

I would be happy with either Ford vs. Chevy OR Roush vs. Hendrick. But Honda vs. nobody is a joke.

The rules in NASCAR are so narrow and outdated in the engine department they might as well be built in one shop and distributed from a "closet".

Mr. Saabaru, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Outside of Porsche and Ferrari, the manufacturers tend to either bring in travelling hired guns or they badge engines built by specialty houses. At least Roush and Hendrick are using Ford and Chevy designs as a basis in NASCAR. In other series, when the Ford was really a Cosworth and the Chevy was really an Ilmor, that was more a check writing contest than anything else IMO. Heck, even Honda is farming out the heavy lifting (in the IRL) these days.

He's got a point. Most teams just import their engines from other teams. All Ford engines are built by Roush now. All Toyota engines come from TRD.
