- I'd like to see how they can come up with a new Dodge engine by Feb. '27. Or even a year from now. I sure hope NASCAR isn't letting them use "rebadged" Chevy engines. That would not sit well with most of us old school fans! *NM*
- It’s all interesting, but TBH modern NASCAR confuses me a little. They are basically spec cars with absolutely zero in common with anything production, so definitely not “stock cars”. While I understand how they got here (basically safety and parity), it confounds me
  - Obviously, the car/truck manufactuers see value in putting their name on race cars. Don't forget, Chevrolet and Honda have Indy car teams, 5 european manufactuers and Cadillac have Formula One teams. Talk about zero relevancy to production cars! *NM*
    - GM would be better off spending that money fixing their truck engines *NM*
    - Sure, but Indy and F1 are not “stock car racing”. Never have been, nor pretended to be. If a company has an engine program for that type of racing, fine. Put a “powered by” sticker on it.
