I have heard they want back in, but the problem is trying to gain market share if you are not the "in house" engine supplier for a truck manufacturer. With Mack/Volvo, Paccar and International all doing their own thing, Detroit still being the de-facto home supplier for Freightliner, and Cummins...

If you are going to be the ultimate Toyota homer, then you have to take the bad with the good. Just like "my" race team, I refuse to be a homer for "my" manufacturer when they deserve to be criticized, as they so often do.

I didn't even realize Daihatsu was even still in business, that's how irrelevant they are.

My employer had stopped buying them, replacing them with the new Mack MD medium duty, but due to post pandemic supply issues, we had to relent and buy a few more Hino's to meet our customer's needs. The trucks themselves were always well liked by the drivers, but we started to have a LOT of...

I just saw the story when it hit the news wire and thought of you Rev. That's alright, "MY" manufacturer is incompetent, and "yours" is a cheater. :cool:

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced a $525 million civil penalty against Hino Motors and its U.S. subsidiaries. In late 2020, Hino paused U.S. truck production due to difficulty meeting U.S. Environmental Protection Agency...

You could bulldoze Daytona and Talladega tomorrow and I wouldn't shed a tear.

I think the more important thing to remember is that once you are out of that market, the cost and the governmental and nimby hurdles involved in getting back in are likely insurmountable. (Remember New York City?) Sometimes assets have a built in value that is worth far more than its book...

I don't either, but it's just another example of the ****** way the France family conducts their business, and I think they need to be called out for it.

It's not NASCAR's job to determine how fast an entry will be or where it will finish. Its job is to determine if a driver has the qualifications to be there. I would contend Wallace's body of work should make him eligible. I will also say that I could careless either way, but I get tired of...

But you have to look at what your core business is, and decide what is MORE important. GM could probably make a LOT of money selling all of their assembly plants, but THEN WHAT? Once again, we were told how important this market was. Even if they make a huge profit on selling this property, are...

Then have the balls to just come out and SAY that, don't keep playing this dog and pony show.

I"ll remind you that James Hylton was allowed to attempt to qualify for the 2007 Daytona 500 at age 73 and after having not run a Cup race since 1993, and in between only making field filler starts in ARCA, Xfinity, and trucks. By the way, James did a great job, was a threat to nobody, and was...

I"ll ask the question again. Is the goal of the France family to sanction stock car races, or be real estate speculators? For decades we were told how important the Southern California market was. Now it seems they would rather just have the money. So in other words, they were just shoveling...

I could certainly understand why they might want some kind of refresher for somebody that has been out of a car so so long, but its alright for Helio, who has NEVER driven a Cup car to race? What exactly did SVG do to get approved to run Xfinity plate races? I do remember that Danica and JPM...

It's not really the price. The price is irrelevant if your goal is to operate a race track and not cash in on the real estate. I guess it's understandable for the owners of Riverside and Ontario to do that, but NASCAR? Since when did being a real estate developer take precedence over holding...

Does $522 include bodyguards?

Does this mean HMS has TWO drivers under contract at Spire?

I can't really disagree with ANY of these changes. I especially like the DVP changes. Nice to see NASCAR can occasionally pull their head out of their butt long enough to get some things right.

That car actually shares a chassis (but not an engine) with the C6 Corvette. Cadillac has nothing on par with the current C8 Corvette. The XLR was built at Bowling Green, but on a separate assembly line from the Corvette, with fewer robots and more human workers putting it together. The...
