....There are two reasons why most of the fans don't want to see Toyota in NASCAR......

Is one of them Datsun?

Perhaps like SCCA members who saw Datsun come to dominate the SCCA circuit they don't want a repeat.

Everyone is forgeting something. In NASCAR, "stock" used to mean "from the dealer", then it meant "if the company sold 500 of them", then it meant "if the company sold them", now it means "the same as the others". IF, and it is an if, the Toyoda's had an advantage (say aero.), NASCAR would find a way to take it away, either by changing the Toyotas or giving everyone else something.

BTW, remember that after Ford dropped the Thunderbird, they were going to be out of NASCAR, until NASCAR said that a 4-door that otherwise could meet their size requirments was ok. Nowadays, I think eveything that races NASCAR is only available as a FWD 6 cyl, despite the fact that Winston Cup cars are all RWD 8's.
