I rather would like to see GMC come in, instead of Toyota. But since GM cut back Cup and Busch teams by axing Pontiac, it would never come true!</P>

I hate the idea of bringing in Toyota.</P>
I've heard that three Dodge teams (Davis, Ganassi, and Penske) will switch to the Toadas for sure, hopefully thats wrong.</P>
And did you hear about the "template engines" yet?</P>
They'll all use the same engine, probably to make it easier for Toyota.<IMG src=smileys/smiley11.gif border="0"></P>

Davis will, Ganassi and Penske both have long term contracts with Dodge until 2009. Camry is supposely debuting in Cup in 2007. Davis' Dodge factory backing was dropped because of his talking to Toyota. Reason why he is running a Dodge in Cup is because CAT is 53% owned by DCX. Davis has a Dodge in Cup, Chevy in Busch, and Toyotas in Trucks. Penske also has DCX business backing because they own stocks in his company, that was one of the reasons for switiching to Dodge.</P>
