There Goes The Neighborhood
From Auto Week Magazine:
Camrys in Cup? Toyota expected to join NASCAR's big league in '07 While itŐs years from an official announcement, we have word that an agreement has been reached between Toyota and NASCAR for Toyota to race in Winston Cup in 2007. ThatŐll be three years after it starts in Craftsman Truck in 2004. Toyota engineers are working on the carbureted V8. ItŐs still on the computer at this point, but will soon come to three-dimensional form. One problem with the engine is casting it in iron. Most Toyota blocks are aluminum alloy, but engineers found a Toyota facility in Japan that still casts in iron. The Craftsman entry will feature a Tundra body and the Cup car will be a Camry, Ňwhatever the Camry will look like then,Ó Toyota sources said.

16yr. old kids in '07 Camry's with buzz bombs and NASCAR stickers/lettering kits, claiming they got a NASCAR spec engine under the hood. I can see it now...
"There goes the neighborhood!!" ...what a shame. |
