Chevy was very dominate in Nascar for years. Most wins, championships on and on. Chevy started to decline a few years ago. Their engine program was not keeping up with Toyota's program. Toyota was making more horsepower but Chevy never countered to keep up Ford was getting better but Toyota was still winning. Nascar is like Pro Stock in the NHRA drag racing series. Expenses were getting way out of hand but they still have a limited number of races at NHRA series. Chevy is king there. Tony Stewart switched to Ford in Nascar, he has always been a Chevy guy but could see the horsepower war was a losing cause for Chevy. I quit watching after Gordon, Earnhardt Jr, retired. The young guys came in and just had no respect how they raced out there and Rusty Wallace made comment to this years back. It has changed big time. Empty seats all over the series, interest has been slipping. Ticket prices and Toyota winning all the time turned people off. Agree with other poster, this should be only a GM, Ford, Chrysler all America manufacturer series. The Trans Am series stopped but still operates under no manufacturer support now. Will Nascar be next? Chevy still is big in the NHRA drag racing series support and Indy car.
