I was expecting this . Caution flag flies on GM's motorsports budget - USATODAY.com .
In the days of REAL stock car racing "Win on Sunday , sell on Monday" meant something . In the 60's or 70's you could walk into a showroom and drive out with a fastback powered by a 426 or 427 and identify with NASCAR . Then NASCAR got away from true stock cars . Imagine going to a dealership and asking for a Taurus or Intrepid with a V8 . O.K. so now Dodge has the Charger . Toyota also has the Tundra with the engine that outperforms the big 3 in all comparison tests . Consumers aren't interested . Tundra sales have dropped so much Toyota will stop production of Tundras at the Princeton , IN plant and shift all production to Texas . Consumers are no longer influenced by speed and performance . They want economy and auto manfacturers no longer get the return on their investment in NASCAR . Other sponsors will step in and NASCAR will continue to grow . They really need to change the name though . Stock cars ceased to exist in that organization long ago .

You mean they are still racing with all the money trouble they have?

Today I saw the first $103k corvette, and took a little drive around in one of them. I asked the PR guy "if you are hurting so much and are going to close almost all of your plants here in the US, why would you bring back the Camaro and not have an electric vette to compete with Ferrari?" He just stood there silent.
