    It is purely show me the money, Ford or Mopar(who’ve left circle track again I think), haven’t ponied up the dough.

    The tracks want the money that Chevy is giving them, if Ford or Mopar(who have left circle track again), ponied up the money, they’d be the motor supplier.

    It’s messed up, but the tracks wanna take the money, and Chevy is there to give it for a price. On one hand be grateful, on the other it’s a deal just like the Hoosier ones.

    What happens when GM dumps the internal combustion engine and goes all electric?
    Only in racing does a person knowingly put on a dud show, and then blames everyone else for not appreciating their dud show.

    Not going to happen for quite some time, and they make a lot from their performance stuff, so as long as there is profit in it, they’ll keep doing it.

    Their goal is to get rid of them in the future I doubt they are making internal combustion engines 10 years from now.

    They are coming just type in GM all Electric and you will see, Clayton you might be right but I think all electric is closer than you think.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but it's illegal to run a Ford or Mopar in a NESMITH sanctioned race.

    take all the purses and roll them into 1 pay out and pay the supers what they should be getting, then if they can't run super there is a lower class called open wheels, or street, and theres nothing wrong with that, its still racing

    Tesla just set a record of 670 miles on a single charge. Just need to figure out a fast charge system which should be doable in 10 years. The instant torque makes the Tesla cars pretty sporty.

    Is chevy really making a lot of money off dirt racing? If so, I'm surprised, thought they had bigger fish to fry

    Of course not off of just dirt racing, racing as a whole. And performance parts in general. Is it comparable to their car sales, I highly doubt it, but it’s money, and keeping your name out there in the motorsports industry. Some of it mixing with their high performance stuff.

    They’d quit if it didn’t benefit them. Just as Mopar is outta circle track again.

    sorry guys , i guess im a little prejudice , but this is not just a chevy vs ford issue to me , it also effects a part of my lively hood being a engine builder , or any one else that likes the accomplishment of building there own engines. And C n B fan , ford tried to offer a comparable engine and the powers that be said NO , so WTF....... Ford has always been treated this way , in 1972 ford finally finished the cammer 427 after 7 years R&R , niel bonnett took it to daytona in febuary and waxed all the hemi,s and BBC and guess what , next day big bill banned them , just like they claimed it was bobby allison that brought on restricter plates with his wreck , BS , it was bill elliot polishing there azz with that errnie elliott ford HP that did it , so before you say ford turned there back , study the history ........
