The Toyota menace
Good ol' Mike Mulhern - turned on his tape recorder, let Jack Roush vent, and jammed it all in the paper.
The topic: Day 2 of Toyota, which will ruin racin' as we know it. (Here's the story; reg. req.)
Some highlights:
"I am concerned about that balance being upset by the - I won't say outrageous, but certainly the generous-beyond-reason - rumors of Toyota's drivers' salaries."
... and ...
"Toyota has a lot of money right now, and a great opportunity to become a bigger player in the American economy, to the detriment of the traditional player. So I see an economic problem."
Over at insiderracingnews.com, C.C. Bell goes on for two parts about Toyota. He concludes: "NASCAR has always has a bit of a Cinderella image. ... The foremost question now is, has the wicked stepmother moved in?"
And if all of this Toyota talk is making your head hurt - it's all business, nothing more, and I'm not sure why everyone seems all freaked out about it - try out this story: Late Model points leader ‘banned for life?’ Yep, I saw that headline and read it, too.
