Blocks & intakes, I would believe it would be in Penske's interest to at least in the beginning buy'em from R/Y and perhaps later develop their own. But they will not get around the cylinder heads, that's the platform set by NASCAR. My 2 cents.

TRD has been a huge influence no matter what form of motorsport! I really believe that the Shrub (Kyle Busch) and his team has melted down at least twice and cost Toyota championships. They've had big point leads and lost it all in the chase. Bad Luck?? To young a team?? Im-maturity?? Or all of the above!

I'd go with all of the above!!! Kyle also is racing in a lot less non-Cup races this year..could be he's suffering from a bit of burnout by the end of the season? Gibbs intention is to have his concentration fully on the Cup program this year, interesting to see if the results change.

I have always been a Busch Bros. fan and while I haven't always been happy with their decisions and/or actions... I really hope Shrub can hold it together (and his team) 'cause I'd love to see him grab the championship! I did see where Gibbs slowed his activities and I'm hoping it helps.

I also saw on ESPN today, they were discussing the 48 and it's appeal. All the announcers felt NASCAR was out of line, even Jeff Gordons old crew chief, who was trying to say there was no precedent. But I know for a fact that comment is wrong. I am surprised NASCAR is still dragging this out. Or maybe they're squeezing the publicity for all it's worth! LOL..
