Joe Gibbs Racing to Toyota is the HOT Rumor!

It would be great to see the only car in the field that is made in America win a race. I hope JGR signs on with Toyota.

You had to see this coming from Toyota. They needed to get a year under their belt and show they can produce some great race cars (Dave Blaney's #22 Cat) to get the attention of some well established and talented teams. I think it would be a great move for JGR and Toyota next year with the caliber of drivers on the roster (even without the addition of Kyle) even though I still feel that Toyota will get a win before the end of this season.

Personally, I don't think JGR should move to Toyota, especially considering the massive success they've had with Chevrolet. Look at this year. Chevrolet already has 17 wins this year, Ford has 3, Dodge has 2, and Toyota has 0. The Toyota teams don't finish well, either. If you want to say that it's because there's no big teams in Toyota, then look at Michael Waltrip Racing and all the money he poured into his facility. That is a big team, as big as JGR or DEI. Red Bull Racing also has some serious cash and power in other series, too. Bill Davis has been racing for years in Nextel, and they're no more successful in Toyota then in the Dodges they were running. And how many Toyotas are in the top 35? Need I say more!

It has to be said that there is one toyota in the top 35. Dave Blaney's 22 Cat in 33. It also has to be said that not all of the poor toyota finishes are because of the power plant under the hood but more from driver issues (wrecks). I have to feel that the gain for toyota with JGR moving to toyota is the gain in body knowledge. But considering the switch to the car of tomarrow for next year, they wont gain alot since they are from the windshield forward they are a craftsman truck.

Joe Gibbs won't put a beer sponsor on his car, but this whore will take jap companies money over an U.S. company. I have always thought Gibbs was a man of God? That is until an atheist offers more money. Hope to see your toyotas in the wall!

YOU'RE AN IDIOT!

Amen.
I hope every Yota in the field blows up and never finishes another race.

if JGR goes to toyota I hope Tont Stwert goes to a Chevrolet team because I won't pull for a riceburner

The writing was on the wall, Toyota got their foot in the door with a handful of has-beens and never-will-bes and will probably leave a few of them in the dust seeking real race car drivers. When they finally get what they want we'll see the likes of michael waltrip and dale jarrett fall into the clutches of the truck series where all the other washouts go to succeed. (Hi Todd)

First off... I hate that Gibbs is even considering this...I've been a Stewart fan from the beginning and I think this would be the dumbest thing to happen in NASCAR in years...but I cant stand ignorant people either...Toyota Camry's are made in the USA!! That doesn't make me feel any better about this move, but I've seen people on here talking about...un-American, and rice burner....Chevy, Dodge, and Ford cars are often times made in foreign countries...I wonder why...its cheaper, which is what this whole deal is all about...MONEY! This really suprises me tho, because I would figure that Joe Gibbs wouldn't be worried about money enough to consider a move so STUPID! I guess Joe may have given J.D. Gibbs more power than we thought...PLEASE STAY WITH CHEVY JGR!!!

what happens to Tony's sprint car backing?

Joe is a traitor to our country and sport as well as the waltrip punks. Keep the chinkotas out of our sport and get juan out to. I have turned my back on what I used to think was the greatest american sport.

It appears as if none of you know what you are talking about
Please read below. Because if by american you mean paying Mexicans and Chinese to build these cars then I guess you are right. at least Toyota still produces a its cars in the USA and pays american workers, and payroll taxes to the us govt. And nobody complains about Dodge which is owned by a german company.
Just because it has a Japanese name doesnt mean it cant be american or at lease more american than the american car companies that had left the US and is currently screwing the US worker.
( From USA today.com)
•Foreign cars made in the USA. Honda's Ohio-built Accord is 70% domestic parts. Toyota's Corolla is made in a California plant alongside General Motors models.
•American cars made abroad. Ford's hit Fusion sedan is made in Mexico; only half its parts are from the USA or Canada. GM pitches its small HHR sport utility and giant Suburban straight at the American market, but they, too, are built in Mexico. HHR has only 41% American and Canadian parts.
•Famous American names and foreign owners. More than three-quarters of the parts in Dodge's new Nitro SUV, which is assembled in Toledo, Ohio, are American or Canadian. But the profits go to Germany because Dodge is part of DaimlerChrysler. Chrysler Group, meanwhile, just became the first major automaker to announce it's going to make small cars for the U.S. market in China.

Whos the idiot that says the only car made in the US is a Toyota?...Are you kidding me??!! Where do you get your facts? SOME Toyotas are assembled here but rest assured ALL the parts come from JAPAN! Only some are assembled here and a Bulk of the $$$$$ Goes back to good old Japan, and the idiot legislatures gave the Japaneese companies a huge amount of tax breaks to come to their states cause the american automakers didnt have any plants their, so the local govt took anything they could get to bring jobs to the area and threw a bunch of tax breaks to the Japaneese companies (which the residents will end up paying for) to bring these foreign companies to the us to create jobs here. And if you didnt know....the only reason Japaneese chinese and any other foreign company assembles any vehicles here at all is because the american govt was going to charge them tariffs on any imports from foreign countries unless they had assembly plants in the US....so that is the only reason they even have asembly plants in the US at all. wake up people! If this is true and Gibbs has succombed to corporate greed and lowered themselves to Toyotas....I will be rooting for ANYONE to put those sorry Camrys into the wall on the 1st lap! I will burn any Stewart flag and clothing I have in disgust! Absolute treason in my opinion!

Most of these guys should just relax and take a Lexus for a spin. (has anyone been seen driving a new Cadillac or Lincoln lately)........check out the standings in IRL, Champ, off road, Nascar truck and recently, Busch series
Toyota is just more advanced, ie, Lexus LS or IS, wants to win, ie, see above racing leagues and has a mean racing operation in SoCal that's expanding to NC to better serve its Nascar teams so it's just a matter of time...........Tony Stewart & Co have opportunities for international exposure w/Toyota (F-1 racing too) and better compensation & perks (LS series)
The best indication of the future is to look at the past to the present, ie, Truck series. Joe Gibbs Racing & its drivers will dominate down the road.
bluetorch

I think its great!!! JGR has gotten just what they deserve!! Kyle Busch,Tony Stewart,and Toyota!!! The only thing missing is a Kleenex sponsorship for all the whining and crying that will go on!!!

Your right bluetorch, the best indication of the future is to look at the past. This time the Japs will take us without a shot.

Home Depot will lose millions over this move, unless Tony bolts to another chevy team.
This has got to be the worst consideration JGR has ever, well, considered.

Now that toytie contaminated the cup series , the cameras will do less paning of the audience like they are now doing in the truck series because toyties
