Q: Do you think there needs to be a rule change (engine or otherwise) in the Sprint Cup series to slow down the Toyotas? Before you answer, take a look at last year's vs. this year's results. 2007 win breakdown: Chevy 26, Ford 7, Dodge 3 2008 win breakdown: Toyota 8, Chevy 5, Dodge 4, Ford 3 Only one team (Gibbs) has won all 8 of Toyota's races, while two teams split Chevy's 5 (Hendrick 3, Childress 2) and Dodge's 4 (GEM 2, Penske 2). All three of Ford's wins were by Carl Edwards (Roush). I'm by no means a Toyota fan (Kahne's my guy), but it looks to me like things are pretty even. At the very least, the playing field is MUCH more even than last year. What do you guys and gals think?
A: No I don't. Those stats are very even, and I find it funny that this type of uproar didn't occur last season when Chevy won all but 10 races. People are crying because Toyota is competitive this year. Last season they bashed Toyota for being bad, this season they bash them for being good and doing their homework. What I'm saying is, the Toyota haters hate them win or lose, and shame on you if you hand facts in their faces. If these people complain about Toyota, more specifically Kyle Busch, doing well this season, why didn't they complain about Chevy last year? Maybe because they were Chevy fans, or Toyota haters to begin with. They just don't want to be able to admit that JGR is a great organization, and Kyle Busch is a great driver. JGR is the only Toyota team winning, right? Were they in Toyota's last season? No. I agree with you. You shouldn't punish someone for doing their homework
