I think a version of NASCAR in the near future could be very likely.  I read on
Autosportmag a few weeks ago that a Frenchman, don't remember his name, is going to
race the Busch Series this year.  I heard about that Toyota rumor as well but an
error occured when I brought up the article and I didn't get any info on it.  I
would relly like to hear about it.
