Why Has NASCAR taken away so much horsepower from the Toyota engine?

It hardly seems fair, they favor Chevrolet so much and it is so obvious! Are they picking on Toyota because they are Japanese? Why did they let them run in the first place then?



Anyone with insight into this please help!Why Has NASCAR taken away so much horsepower from the Toyota engine?There has been a lot of conspiracy against Toyota ever since they over took GM as the #1 auto maker in the world. This is especially sad as to my understanding, the Toyota is currently the only Cup car who's production model is actually made in the USA. Last I knew the production models of GM, Ford and Dodge Cup cars were made in plants in Canada and Mexico. Last I knew, ALL Toyota's sold in the USA are MADE in the USA. And to boot, Toyota didn't have to go to the Government with their @$$ES in their hands to survive the economic downturn. It's funny how Toyota and Ford saw what was coming and prepared for it, while GM and Chrysler acted invincible, till they both nearly went belly up.

On Average Toyota's use 60% parts sourced from overseas. They only have 4 (low wage assembly) plants in the US. If they sell the same amount of cars as GM in the US why does GM have 30+ plants in the US?

Why Has NASCAR taken away so much horsepower from the Toyota engine?What are you smoking? Can I get a hit? @ Captain Jack Yes, Toyota in fact did have to go to the Japanese government for a handout. And Ford prepared for it? They had to leverage everything including the blue oval, to keep them from going to the Government.
In the Nationwide series they were tired of Kyle dominating!



I haven't heard anything on the Cup side.
