It's probably on a trial basis to see how well it's recieved in the Nationwide series then maybe later in the sprint cup. This was talked about a few years ago I remember.

The new mustang concept is out and looks different than the nationwide cars we have now. And chevy is done next year, there budget is done and they have already started cutting cars for the 2010 season. Ford has been smart the past few years by holding back to just roush so dont expect nascar to be chevy controlled this year, fords gonna come back soon.

It's not like the race cars are going to be anything but vague 'silhouette' versions of what's sold to the public.

That is definitely what they are trying to do.

Do you have links or is this pure speculation? Nascar is some of the best marketing Chevy has. I don't see them pulling the program and upsetting millions of fans who picked their favorite driverbased on the fact that he drives a Chevy.

There are some great rookies movin on up through that Nationwide series. Joey Lagano, Brad Kerslowski. Joey's going to be great in the Sprint Cup Series once he figures the cars out.

I'm well aware that Chevy has been cutting back on many of its racing budgets, including Nascar. I was interested in silverbullitt777 providing links show that Chevy will be pull away from Nascar completely in the next few years. I guess I should have just highlighted

When i said done i didnt mean completely out. I meant that the about 60 percent chance of them winning every week was going to be done. That was my fault should of made it clear what i was trying to say sorry for the confusion too.

Personally since Ford isn't making any gains in Sprint Cup I think they should save their money and pack it up. Why spend millions to just lose. There isn't that many teams now anyway. We all know it's not stock bodies or engines and Lord knows how could they be selling cars without any victories.

That's a horrible idea.

We need the american car manufacturers to stay in NASCAR. It's one of the things that has made this country a great place to live.

Stock car racing, is as american as apple pie and baseball.
