Here's the new 2015 Camry. I wonder when the NASCAR Toyotas will switch over to this body? When the 2012 Camry came out, the August 2011 Bristol race is where it made it's debut.

I like what they did with the nose.

The ass-end looks better too.

I'm surprised they redesigned it this soon. The current model has only been out three years, but Camrys have been on a 5-year cycle since the 80s, the new models usually introduced in years that end in 2 or 7. I like it though.

March the 29th to May the 9th is a ridiculously stupid long time to wait for a Truck race.

Never understood this long gaps. I understand here is a limited series but really? months in between races?

I have no patience for stuff like that.

Its how they start their season too. Daytona then a full month break before they race again from mid feb to the very end of march. :eek::rolleyes:

Crazy.

Especially since they are still selling the current model quicker than they can get them in lots. Those cars are everywhere... And it seems like the people that drive them don't know how to.. Haha

And then come the summer months they travel every week... It is quite odd.

I drive one, but I've managed to keep it between the ditches. :)
 
Run the trucks Friday night at Myrtle Beach. That would give the participants plenty of time to spend Easter at home and fans suffering withdrawals a quick fix.

Look! There in the sky! It’s a bird… it’s a plane… it’s…. a Ford Mustang?

Yes, it is. A Mustang GT convertible, to be exact.

Thursday is the Mustang’s 50th anniversary. To mark the occasion, Ford plopped a 2015 Mustang GT convertible onto the observation deck of the Empire State Building.

Ford pulled the same stunt with the original Mustang, but five decades of technological advancements haven’t made it any easier to pull off. The deck is 1,000 feet up, so using a crane is out of the question. And the building’s tall spire rules out lowering the car from a helicopter.

That leaves the freight elevator. So, just as they did in 1965, Ford had the automotive wizards at DST Industries chop a Mustang into six pieces for the ride to the 86th floor, where the car was reassembled in the wee hours today.
