I have to counter your point on Toyota working hard to find that horsepower. I'll have to admit, they did work, but not as hard as you think. Before they were brought into NASCAR, the other manufacturers were told by NASCAR to give Toyota an engine for reference. Toyota has taken all of the things that GM, Dodge and Ford has learned over the decades racing and incorporated it into an engine. No wonder they are faster, they were given a head start. And HELL YES, I am a Toyota hater. Used to be a big GM guy but have turned that into a GM, FORD, DODGE guy. Thank God Tony has defected back.

What Roush said about "boatloads of dollars from Japan" is really coming true. They threw a ton of cash at open wheel, off road and GTP in order to dominate. It took probably 3 years for Dodge to get some HP when they returned to NASCAR... Toyota got it handed to them. Welcome to the new "NASCAR"...  ;D 😮

Oh yeah I'm a Mopar/Penske guy if y'all haven't figured that one out. I even tolerated the Penske/Phord years... Those black T-Birds flew  ;D

That's a very good point about the money as look what they're paying teams to take their brand - we all heard about the contract that went on with Dale Jarrett. It was said to be worth over a million just because he had a championship provisional. Anybody remember that blitz?
