I'm not sure about these two manufacturers right now, I believe that so far Chevrolet and Toyota are the frontrunners in the Cup Series.<BR/><BR/>As for Ford reducing this year? No, no way, they are in this for the long run, however, next year could happen. I just read not to long ago that Ford is giving the data received from Roush Racing's 7 post shacker to all of the other Ford teams.<BR/><BR/>If they do pull back on funding, they might just full support Roush Racing, they are the Ford Flagship and most of the other Ford teams go though them anyway, I know that Yates and Wood Bros. go though Roush.Racedrivenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04729977514524441803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11387477.post-90511146654551086822008-02-07T13:16:00.000-05:002008-02-07T13:16:00.000-05:00Great points all around, I think the only thing I could add is what about Ford? With the newly beefed up operations at GEM and Ganassi, are they about to be eclipsed by Dodge...or even Toyota? There have been rumors for years about Ford cutting back their NASCAR spend in 2009 to deal with their financial issues elsewhere, is this the year that it happens?Johnnyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17654832236860079943noreply@blogger.com
