lawdog Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 What's your make to support?Chevy, Dodge or Ford?Or do you route for the drivers/teams irresepective of the brand?I'm pretty much a Chevy guy, but not absolute. I think Kasey Kahne is awesome in his Dodge's and I like Kenseth OK too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifty Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I go more by the driver's that I like. Chevy would be my first choice if you would go by manufature .Sifty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOF#13 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I'm a chevy guy, but I think it's just coincidence that my favorite driver(s) drive chevy's. Heck, at one time Dale, Sr. did drive a Ford. Good thing he got into a Chevy quick though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMickish Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I've always been an underdog kind of guy so maybe that why I cheer for Fords but drive a GM product. That might also explain why I like the Vikings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollyT Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 It's really stupid to call these cars Fords, or Chevys. They have nothing in common with the street cars other than a vague resemblence to the body shape. Swap the engine block and sheet metal and your Ford stock car is now a Chevy. Not that the blocks are stock either. In modern racing the make arguement is silly IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawdog Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 I don't think so. The power plants (especially in the cylinder heads I think) are distinct to the manufacturers and the bodies are adaptations of the street cars they are named after. If you were talking dirt late models or sprint cars I'd say you are right, but not these Grand National cars. Granted the chassis doesn't matter or have anything to do with the manufacturers, but the bodies and the horsepower are king in NASCAR with the aerodynamics playing such a huge part now.
