Oh yeah and tell me if I'm wrong here, but aren't NASCAR engines pushrod? Where'd Toyota get one of those? They could probably just buy one, but they do tend to like to produce their own engines.

yes the do use pushrod engines in NASCAR. They ahve already developed an engine that they use in the Craftsman truck series. THey supposedly tore Ford, GM, and Dodge engines apart and found the best of each and used those designs to build their own engine. TRD builds all engines for hte Craftsman series right now so I would assume that they will continue to build for the Toyota Nextel Cup and Busch series.

I'm a bit torn by this plus confused. Now the whole premise of NASCAR is race on Sunday and sell on Monday. But the Camry is already the best selling car in the US so I'm confused. Marketing would be the motivation. But seeing as Toyota's sales are already strong, is there some benefit I'm missing? I guess NASCAR fans must be a growth market...well, that's probably true for Toyota.

THey are the top selling car right now. Ford, GM and DCX all ahve new cars coming out or already ahve new cars out htat are competing with the Camry. JUst because you are at the top doesnt mean you will always be there. People that keep up with NASCAR tend to be very brand loyal. IF they find a driver they like and he dives a Ford or GM product they like to drive the same kind of product.
