Chevrolet driver Clint Bowyer thinks so. He claims the No. 20 Camry is so strong that owner Joe Gibbs could put a monkey behind the wheel and win.

Bowyer, the series points leader, was racing Ford driver Carl Edwards at Daytona recently when eventual race winner Denny Hamlin powered the No. 20 Toyota to the inside of both cars through the first and second corners -- and drove away
Bowyer and Edwards nearly wrecked in disbelief.

I am totally baffled by the difference in the ponies. Even in the cup series , how many times have you seen Kyle Busch drive past cars like they were sitting still.

Obviously toyota has done their homework here, but do you punish them for hard work or reward the others for nothing? On the other hand are the rice burners playing by the rules?

Whatever happened to the fastest car with the best driver wins the race?

Well lets see every year when one brand wins alot the other teams cry foul. It looks like toyota has found out how to make the car have more horsepower in all areas of the track where the others seem to lose steam in the corners. It will get evened out soon enough

Why not let the slower competition catch up on their own? This is pathetic. Wouldn't have anything to do with the fact the much hated Kyle Busch drives a Toyota would it?

Its the same every year if you will go back and look. One year the chevys r fast and the others complain then the fords r fast same thing so no its not that busch is driving a toyota.

Why does NASCAR feel they have to force parity on the teams. Why can't they allow the other teams to figure out for themselves how to go faster?

This would be like the NFL forcing a really fast WR to wear a fifty pound weight vest so the safeties could cover him.

Lets see how many did busch win driving a chevy.

What difference does that make? His team is being unfairly penalized for going fast, the one thing in racing you're supposed to do.

Can't have the shrub winning too many races can we? How would that look? A brash upstart in a Japanese car beating veteran drivers in Fords and Chevys.
