is it just my imagination ?

Those executives only want to see the check Toyota gives them.
It is always about the money.
Wonder if the All Time Greats get it?
Are they following the $$
Might be a good subject for Competition Plus

And even Warren Johnson is participating in this farce? Life is indeed stranger than fiction.

I liked the Tee shirt NASCAR fans wore when Toyota first started. "Toyota brought to you by the people that bombed Pearl Harbour" I know the war is over , Still funny in a NASCAR kind of way.

B.F.D. I bracket raced a Toyota Tercel my first year and my skin didn't fall off. It's just 3,000 lbs of metal going down a race track.

They make their trucks in Texas and Indiana, by the way. Be happy that someone is forking over sponsorship dollars.

I think it would be much more appropriate to put them in new Camaros,Mustangs and Challengers to celebrate 50 years of American muscle cars after all they did make NHRA what it is today... just sayin.

Better to go without the money or sponsorship, right?

As far as I'm concerned, YES!
None of that money will trickle down to Stock or SS anyway. Giving it to the B-O-D just lets them put on a bigger dog and pony show that pushes us further out of the big picture.
