So sad, first Chevrolet has to pull out of was it 8 or so tracks and now Lowes pulling out. What next? Next thing we know, it will be the ISCAR. We are loosing our American home base. I am from the south, although, I am glad that drivers from all over the US have a chance to drive in NASCAR. Though, I do not approve of Toyota being in the series. Guess it is my southern roots and I feel that NASCAR doesn't give a hoot about the fans and people who actually brought this sport to where it is today. I am sick of Toyota being rammed down our throat. Yes, I know people can make an arguement that they are manufactured in the US now, but it is not the same. And I don't see any difference in the fan base. I pride my faith to HMS and Chevy. I am sure I will get haters replying, but oh well, I have grown up on NASCAR since I was born, and Rick Hendrick is doing it without the help of Chevrolet right now. That is one class act organization. And I believe in Ford. If a Chevy can't win a race, I want a Ford to. Just my opinion, We are losing our last American sport. Sad, so sad! HMSvettegirl from TX
