Toyota/NAPA in NASCAR

I bet Toyota/NAPA shitcans Micheal Waltrip soon.
Guy is an absolute embarrassment to himself and everything he touches.
I mean he has got to be the worst driver on the track with the biggest mouth. That combination is deadly bad. If I was Toyota I'd make Jr. a deal he couldn't refuse. They have zero credibility with Michael Waltrip as their storefront.

Cant see Toyota staying with him to long either ... they came in to race and win .... they are doing neither .. Best run they have had was with Johhny Benson , and he was a independant or something ...

I agree 100%...he is pathetic....although David Ragan isnt doing too bad of a job of hitting everything out there

I agree about M.Waltrip but junior is a Chevy man and wants to stay with Chevy. I don't think that Toyota has a chance for him.

I'd personally like to see him in the J.Gibbs stable.

you are on the right track, but not all the way,
first off yes waltrip is sucking, but then again toyota coming into nascar= bad idea, they wont ever be up top, too little experience, second IMO not saying you're wrong but i would have to say by far montoya is the worst driver on the track, he may have better times/ finish better but he causes the most trouble and just shoots out there and gets lucky making people scared to try and pass him... third i would be willing to bet everything in my bank account that jr would never ever ever go for toyota and they know that

Yup....That Montoya or whatever his name is ....is all over the track...boy cannot drive for shit. But at least the kid is going fast....Waltrip sucks and is going slow. So utilizing my theory Montoya suck less.
Secondly....Toyota will win and win big....too much money invested....they will run with the big dogs sooner than later.....Michael " I pee peed in my pants" Waltrip will not get them there though.

I think that Toyota will have it's day.

They have proven to be a great auto manufacturer, they have thousands of jobs here in the states, and they have some money to play with.
Sure, if they do not do something, they will cut that budget, but do not dismiss them entirely.

As for Jr. Well, it is hard to say. He is a Chevy man, but if they offer him some $$$$$$$, he may go.

It would help the Toyota image too.

Dont forget Waltrip only had the off season to put the whole team together including the testing.

You clearly don't follow the truck series.

**BULLET_WS6** · 05-21-2007, 06:26 AM

not much, but nextel series are pretty much a whole different ballpark... hince the reason toyota is the major underdog this year... not saying they wont ever be up there... but its going to take a lot of time, a lot of money, a lot of patience, and a good driver
