A clip from the YAHOO link--
Jack Roush, co-owner of Roush-Fenway Racing, which fields Fords in the Nationwide Series, called the Gibbs team's actions "extremely detrimental" to the sport and was confident NASCAR will address it.
"NASCAR will figure out what they should," Roush said. "If they're going to make decisions based on parity, after they've given (Toyota) what they've given them with regard to parameters on their engine, based on flawed data that a team or the manufacturer, one of the other, had kited or shaved, that certainly is detrimental to my interests."

Reading this, why is Roush still there? It looks like NASCAR is giving the farm to the Toyota camp just to get them to play.
Racing (anything), IMHO should be a run what you can get together and meet the safety requirements for the fans and the driver- fences, soft walls, cages and all that should be, and are, required. So past that, set up a cubic inch displacement limit and cut 'em loose. If they run too fast for a track, then hand them a plate, retard the timing, or whatever else it takes. Crap, make everyone run a 4.88 gear on Talledega and make it a survivor series.
Look at what NHRA is doing to the Pro Fuel classes- run 1000 feet instead of 1320- and theyre still clocking 300+
where they have been trying for years and failing miserably, apparently there having the biggest budget is no guarantee for success :0 then again what do you expect, first with that overpaid backmarker Ralph Schumacher and even till today with that clown Trulli.
