I saw a piece a few weeks ago on ESPN on how NASCAR drivers and fans were upset that Toyota has now come on the scene and is racing in NASCAR , alot of the fans they interviewed said they basically did not want Toyota around becuase it was a Japanese company and people are upset thay the Japanese have taken away jobs in the Auto Industry from the United States , I get that and I totally understand , but I also learned that that Ford models that are used NASCAR are assembled in Mexico ? and the Chevy and also the Dodge were assembled in Canada , aren't those jobs that use to be here in America also , so why be upset with Toyoto when all the other car manufacturers are doing the same thing ?

Please serious answers only !

Someone who answered the previous question (about present for F1 fan) said that you could buy a used F1 tyre. Can you really? I've always wanted one to have it as a coffee table! I thought tyre companies closely guarded their tyres and kept the ingredients of the tyre compound higly secret. I didn't think you could buy it!

What do you think are the reasons why people like NASCAR?

It's official! See http://www.grandprix.com/ns/ns17800.html

What do you think? Could be an interesting combination. I think it could be that most of the pressure will be on Fernando and how he will fit in with the new team. Therefore, perhaps not as much pressure on Lewis?

F1 races only pay points for the first 8 finishers. First place getting 8 points, second place 7 and so on. Should NASCAR do the same thing giving points only to the top 15 or 20 places?

I think that it would lead to a much more exciting season and keeps the points much closer. What does everyone else think?

Last year he won his second Nextel Cup. This year he scored more points in the chase than any other Chase driver, so IS THERE ANYONE BETTER THAN TONY STEWART RIGHT NOW?

Lets dream for a moment (well I will because owning my own F1 team would be so cool) but using the pool of drivers that will be racing in 2007 name me your team leader, number 2 and tester?

also your team principle and you race engineer and strategist (ross brawn type) I forget his position title lol.

but the rules are once you pick one guy from one team you cant have anyone else from that team and you cant pick guys who are all considered to be top drivers so you cant have for example
Alonso, Kimi and Hekki as your drivers but you can have a combination of Ron Dennis and Andrew Shovelin for example

and what would be your team name?

my line up and name would be -

Team Leader - Kimi Raikkonen
Number 2 - Sebastien Vettel
Test Driver - Nico Rosberg

Principle - Ron Dennis
Race Engineer - Andrew Shovelin
Strategist (please tell me the proper title of this position ive had a memory blank) -
Pat Symonds


Team name - either called - the maestroes! or the dudes!

During the 1960's Dan Gurney won several races in NASCAR. Infact he won one race 5 years running. NASCAR declared that he was stealling the winnings from the American drivers even though Gurney is an American (even served 2 years in the US army during the Koren War)

That's the background for what I want to ask: Does racing in F1 (which at the time Gurney was doing) mean your not 'American'. And if so why?

My mom is a fan of #6 Mark Martin but he's been a fluke since he hasn't won much for the past few years so my mom "switched" loyalties to #17 Mark Kenseth.

Why hasn't Mark Martin been performing well?

And only mediocore in Cup. Mark is my favorite driver but, I can't understand why he doesn't win as much in Cup.

I don't watch Nascar, but from watching Herbie Fully Loaded with my three year old, it got me wondering, how come the steering wheel isn't put on until right before the race?
