When will the Japanese get to sponsor teams in NASCAR?

May be...

N E V E R! It's an American Sport.

when they start speaking english

people always crack me up with that 'nascar is an american sport rant'. an infusion of money from toyota is what is keeping a lot of teams going. i think i've seen sony and panasonic a time or two on the quarterpanel of cars but just like everywhere else, japan is also feeling the strain under the current economic conditions. the koreans (more of those pesky asian people) aren't involved yet in nascar with a vehicle brand but they do or have sponsored the texas 500 in texas...texas of all places. did anyone refuse to go because a south korean company was sponsoring the event? i'm pretty sure if hello kitty approached jack rousch about sponsoring the 26 car next year, jack would put that animated cat on the hood right now and move it over to yates. no one is keeping the japanese out. it's tough times for everyone.

It only seem right that a Japanese company should be able to sponsor a team using a Japanese car (Toyota).

Hopefully theyll keep nascar were it started, america, no offense to any one

Ummm when it all goes Japanese. ie(Mitsubishi, Mazda, Toyota, and Suzuki)

Nascar is an american sport therfore,Toyotas dont belong.

I figure whenever a Japanese company wants to put up the money to sponsor a car, then they will. Lets look at some that ring bells with the American consumer: Fuji Film, Kenwood Electronics, Makita, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic, Pioneer, Pilot Pen, Sanyo, Sega, Sony, Toshiba, Uniden. I purposely didn't include auto, tire or telecommunication companies. I am not aware that any team would not accept sponsorship from any of these companies.

Toyotas and Nascar don't mix.

allready have its called toytoa and never guess thats it .

With America going bankrupt you have a point, we will need Japan, China or whoever to keep our NASCAR alive and racing********************

there are no rules stopping them

Never
