Not really that much difference. Everything is to NASCAR's specifications so there isn't much room for the best and the worst, there's pretty much an equality across the board. Some teams get more money spent on their cars because of success or sponsership money and get special attention to make sure they're in top condition. But that happens between different cars owned by the same owner, and there isn't a huge difference there either. With the diferent manufacturers, there isn't usually that much of a difference other than like with teams. Toyota is the newest manufacture and will take a while to gain recognition needed to get more money needed to have better cars and more importantly better drivers. Same with Dodge a few years ago, they were awful for a couple years and are starting to hold their own every week. So, I really don't see that big of a difference across the board. A little better treatment of equipment, but the driver is the biggest thing. And the difference will be even more magnified as the COT's are even more equal than the cars before.

All four manufacturers engines are comparable. The Ford and the Dodge are earlier designs but they all make comparable power. The difference is in the teams, Hendricks, Gibbs, RCR and DEI have put more into testing and R&D than any of the ford or dodge teams. The Toyota teams are new so they are behind also. It isn't Chevy that has an advantage, it is the Chevy teams. Roush and Everham know it and that is why you don't hear them complaining.

Dodge has already made it back into the NASCAR winner's circle. Toyota wil get there eventually. The trucks have already won a championship.

You don't understand. The COT (car of tomorrow that is a taxi cab) is identical for all makes. Kenworth Trucks could enter a team. The only identifying item are DECALS. The engines are all identical for specifications. It's whomever can tweak the rules the best and get away with it runs in front.

I cant speak for Dodge improving but if you noticed from the last race, Toyota raced thier new engines and judging by the qualifying times, it improved. Just like any other new sponsors (engine), thier playing "catch up". With time, money, and testing, they'll get there. But!, chevy also keep improving especially with the new RO7 engines. I hope I said that right.

Dodge has won some races, Toyota will when the time is right. Every team has to go through a learning trial. They are new and just need time to work out the bugs. Give them time, they'll get it.

The only reason that Chevy Is dominating,is the manufacture loves racing and will get involved.Chevy has redesigned showroom cars so they will compete in Nascar none of the other manufacturers have done this !So why trash a company that loves racing !!!!
