George Gillett, who bought into Ray Evernham's Dodge-anchor operation last year [now GEM], has made strong overtures to switch to Toyota. But NASCAR officials have apparently nixed any such move, and that could leave the Bill Davis Toyota team in limbo. Davis has talked for more than a year now about looking for a business partner. The Gillett-Evernham operation has been Dodge's chief engineering arm in NASCAR, but Penske may now get that nod, and become the engine supplier to teams like the Pettys. Penske already leases Dodge engines to Robby Gordon. Sources say that Penske, who runs one of the country's largest Toyota dealerships, in Los Angeles, has made overtures about Toyota, and may push for the launch of a satellite Toyota operation next year in order to be prepared for a possible changeover to Toyota in 2010

I guess all those Johnson fans are so busy partying that they're not posting here...
It really has been a crazy season. Carl impressed the heck out of me, won the most races, out-performed Jimmah in the second half of the Chase, and still came in second.
Now get ready for the most tumultuous off-season ever. If the big 3 go under, will we have an all-Toyota field in the fall?

In the current climate, I can certainly imagine that NA$CAR will be evolving and changing, perhaps very quickly. Maybe it should.
Baseball's been losing viewers over the past several years, too... do we have idiots writing editorials about how it's no longer a viable sport?
