Why is Nascar holding back Ford Motor sports?Why won't they let them run the their best engine they have?

May be...

They dominated in the 1960s and early 1970s let them take back what is rightfully theirs. With Carrol Shelby and Jack Roush in the stables again ,all the little boys who wear their bow-ties and play with their stuffed Ram animals and Toys will whine and cry once again!

Beth is right, the engine has to fit within NASCAR specs no matter who the manufacturer is. Neither Ford nor Dodge have submitted a new engine that fits within these specs, and are falling behind Chevy and Toyota.

It seems to me that since the Roush /Yates merger that where Roush has soared on the other hand Yates has bottomed out and its sad,because if it weren't for Yates Roush wouldn't be where they are .And this comes from the fan of a Roush driver.

Bill, Ernie and Dan Elliott... started the WHOLE, dog-gone-thing !!!


Thanks ALOT...... YAW !!!!!

I dont know, it sucks!!! probably beacause the most poprular drivers run toyota's and Chevy's.. IF the popular drivers win, everybodys happy. For example, junior, jimmie, jeff, smoke...

Ford has an invitation from Nascar to submit a new engine that fits within the Nascar guidelines. Ford has submitted an engine that was turned down by Nascar as not meeting their guidelines. Chevrolet had the same problem, nascar turned down their first two designs for the R-07 before accepting the third design as meeting their guidelines.

Ford has the ball in their court as far as engine design goes. Part of fords problem is the teams have not tested the new car enough....that is where they are hurting more than in the engine difference.

I find it odd that NASCAR's suddenly holding back manufacturers as far as their engines are concerned. Apparently Toyota wanted to use the engine they use(d) in Craftsman Truck or a similar design of it but it wasn't allowed and they had to re-design it which was probably 1 of the reasons why they tanked last year.
I think NASCAR should allow them to run what they developed since the engines more or less is the only difference between a Ford, Chevy, Dodge & Toyota NASCAR Stock Car.

They are afraid FORD will DOMINATE!!! Thats why!!!

NASCAR wants their "pretty boys" to win........
