Only problem...the Cuban-American politicians (my area) and the lobbying

It ain't gonna happen until BO cracks the whip and demands it end.
"BO cracks the whip"?!? Oh, please! ROTFLMAO!!! The man has a
pathological need to be liked. He'd never do anything that
confrontational.
Oh, I don't know. I got an e-mail from Car and Driver magazine
earlier today reporting that Obama has ordered GM and Dodge to get out
of NASCAR at the end of this season. That takes some stones.

As much as Toyota dominated NASCAR this past year, they should get out. :~)

To be honest why they're still involved is a mystery.
It USED to be "win on Sunday sell on Monday" but when NASCAR went to the common car template (COT-google it) the only way to identify the winning car is by the manufacturer logo. You can no longer tell a Ford from a Chevy or Dodge or Toyota so that marketing plan is history.
