Wouldn't be surprised if these start dominating the circuit after a couple of years..

I've heard reports of some teams already complaining that it'd be harder to get sponsers for small teams. Not really a fan of NASCAR. Would be nice to see if they could get into American LeMans. But then, I don't have any stations that airs anything other than NASCAR and IRL

There's no such thing as domination in NASCAR. When any one manufacturer has a clear advantage, NASCAR alters the rules a bit to level the playing field.

That being said, I've pretty much lost all interest in NASCAR. The races themselves end up being 4 hour snore fests more often than not. A really close NASCAR race, is by far one of the most entertaining forms of racing. But the other side of that is, the races that aren't close, are about as entertaining as watching paint dry.

I'll take road racing over NASCAR any day.

I get enough nascar from watching the recap on sportscenter, It has all the good parts, the big wrecks and the finish and Tony Stewart beating someone up

It's good to see another manufacturer come in. I think I'm most interested to see what they do about the engine. Whether the will actually have some Toyate based engine or not. I'm not the Nascar fan I once was, the Chase for the Cup thing has lost me. I prefered the previous scoring system without question.

I don't like NASCAR, but I think it's about time it became an international racing league rather than a "competition" between cars of identical performance and drivers with identical technique.
