"GM Racing will focus its 2004 NASCAR program on the Chevrolet Monte Carlo, and will no longer race or support the Pontiac Grand Prix race car," said Doug Duchardt, director of GM Racing. "This transition will enable GM Racing to strengthen its Chevy Nextel Cup program and, at the same time, work with Pontiac on its future racing plans."

Because GM owns them or at least Pontiac and they own Chevy i guess they dont want the same company makers racing each other

The Oldsmobile division no longer exists. It was discontinued several years ago. GM decided they wanted to promote only one name badge in NASCAR and have only one racing division giving support to the teams. Since Chevrolet is their biggest division in the family size car market, they choose to only race that badge. GM is currently using sports car racing, mainly the Rolex series to promote the Pontiac brand.

From what my dad told me is that Pontiac was running Chevy engines.

Because general motors wanted to focus its main market on the monte carlo as it was GM's most popular car in 2003/2004, and oldsmobile I don't think oldsmobile even exists anymore

Back a few years ago, Ford was really starting to kick GM's butt on the race track. GM decided to focus their money and engineering on one car instead of three.

They aren't interested. The cost is too much for any gain.
