Mustangs and other muscle cars heading to NASCAR?

Many lament the days when stock cars were actually based on production cars, rather than the new NASCAR Nextel Cup Car of Tomorrow vehicles that merely wear stickers bearing the headlights and grille of their production counterparts. While production-based stock cars will likely never happen again, word is that the NASCAR Busch Series will switch to cars based on the Ford Mustang, Chevy Camaro, Dodge Challenger and yet-to-be-determined model from Toyota as soon as the 2009 season.
I see Nextel Cup attendance going down ... and Busch Series going up!

It's a shame that the toyota is the only car in nextel cup that is actually made in America.

Let me ask how do you verify that answer? Oh by the way if you want to brag about military service than join a real branch.[sm=loveeyes.gif]

He means jackleg what will they sub for the Camry? Maybe a ricer with a 50 foot wing on the back and then a course the vegetable can on the back for some serious horsepower.
