Disillusionment

5 09 2007

Today is a day that will live in infamy…

NASCAR has just had its own version of Pearl Harbor: Joe Gibbs Racing with drivers Tony Stewart, Denny Hamlin, and Kyle Busch have signed on to drive with Toyota beginning in 2008. As you know, I am a big Tony Stewart fan. As you also know, I am a big supporter of American muscle and automobiles. Now, hopefully, you can see the problem. I am in a state of shock and disillusionment and I don’t know what will snap me out of it. It was hard enough when Tony Stewart went from racing my favorite American brand – Pontiac – to racing Chevy, but at least that was still General Motors; but now going to a non-American manufacturer? I don’t care if the move will help him win every other cup title from now until he retires, I cannot and will not support a foreign brand in an American motor sport.
