It is obvious that Americans are being bombarded by Chevy. I am a Ford racing guy and my wife and I both drive Fords, great vehicles. Nascar makes Ford front ends on the race car look like the street car. Chevy got a 3 inch kick out on the nose adding downforce for the flat tracks and has had this unfair advantage for some time now. I wrote letters to Mike Helton and Robert Yates to no avail and sent questions to Jack Roush. I have gotten to the point of not watching the Super Chevy Show on Sundays.

Great question. I have always thought that. Just look at when Ford was dominating the first few races a couple of years ago.NASCAR more than jumped over it's own azz to change the rules so that the Shytrolets would have a chance.

Because Fords and Dodges had aerodynamic advantages which necessitated this move. Also, if you haven't noticed, the Dodge Charger looks the same as the street car. But Chevy was so far behind aerodynamically. But, the kickout is also a factor in drag, which would slow the straight-line speed sown.
But, one thing you don't mention is the fact that Ford Racing pioneered what is now an illegal engine and was allowed to use it until Hendrick came up with a comparable engine.
And I had a stepbrother who used to work for Ford who said he wouldn't drive one.

It's ridiculous how many of each make are in Nascar. I counted 23 Chevys, 12 Dodges, and 8 Fords. There sure used to be more Fords than that! I am almost ready to jump on the Car of Tomorrow band wagon because of it!

Chevrolet pays Nascar more money to let their cars win, so when Jimmie Johnson, Kevin Harvick, and Earnhardt all take their cars to the Ford Championship Weekend at Homestead Speedway, they get to run up front. It's all about the paycheck. ( I am, of course, being a little sarcastic)

Ask Mike Helton what his previous jobs were. That will answer your question. It had something to do with Chevy!
