I was made aware of this through this week's Autoweek magazine. It's a site where NASCAR fans can go to voice their displeasure over Toyota joining Nextel Cup racing -

Leave it to rednecks to come up with organization names with ridiculous hidden acronyms. I remember there being a big Fans Against Gordon movement when Jeff Gordon was winning things left and right years back because he wasn't a good ol' boy. It lasted a good long time too, so I'm guessing it took a while before someone finally realized what it spelled and looked up fag in the dictionary to see what it meant.

I stand corrected; I guess they still exist....

Woa, got a few hangups there XP ? I think its funny, FART. How about FITSBOMS, f@#kin things shouldnt be on my soil............

The Lexus V8 is a hard engine to beat in the Grand Am series, I imagine Toyota is going to make a mess of NASCAR, then what ?

The Jap bikes changed dirt bike racing perminantly a few decades ago. now there is only 4 manufacturers and they are all from the same country. How exciting. In that respect NASCAR has sucked for years anyhow, with only Chevy, Ford and Dodge. Its to bad they cant get back to their roots and race showroom stockcars. These floppy bodied, tubed framed, template cars are getting pathatic. Now they take the manufacturers latest grill and glue it onto a body that looks like a 97 Monty and call it a "Dodge" or a "Ford".

Lets see the Charger and Chrysler 300, out there battleing it out against a CTSV, GTO or even a FWD GP GXP and a N* Lucerne. Now that would be fun..........ny. FWD might actually do pretty good on oval tracks

Boy oh boy, then we would see some organizations with enraged fans.

yea, its so out off control now for the past 2 decades. Like the late 80's Buicks still had Chevy engines in them. Tubed frames, floppy bodies.

In sportscar racing they call those "prototypes". The GT cars are just highly modified production cars track prepared. Far more realistic. Nascar is like this big circus with tens of sideshows.
