My point was that F1 has international appeal because they have drivers from almost every continent on earth.

For NASCAR to broaden its appeal to a huge Asian market by allowing Toyota to race, is a no-brainer.

Those who oppose this probably oppose NASCAR racing in non-Southern markets like Brookline, Dover and Las Vegas.

NASCAR became huge in this country because they focused themselves outside their traditional base. NASCAR is a business, and to whine because they want to expand is silly.

Right on. NASCAR is a business, and if it comes to include Toyota, Ferrari or whoever else, it ceases to be the NASCAR I care to watch.

Totally agree. Besides, Toyota has a lot of racing experience in other formats and there's no doubt in my mind they can bring something to the party. Besides, the Japanese generally love American sports when they get a chance to be exposed to it and there's a huge established base of racing fans there already. Can't see a downside, personally.
