jg=l, no problemo. I have hit the wrong button myself. Thanks.

Answer 4

Rumors are floating around that the Nationwide Series cars will switch to the 'Pony" or 'Muscle' cars along with the new COT.

Ford... Fusion to Mustang

Dodge... Charger to Challenger

Chevy... Monte Carlo SS (or is it Impala for the Nationwide?) to Camaro

Toyota... they'll more than likely stay with the Camry. The Corolla is an option as well.

*Edit* Sorry Tom P for the thumbs down! For some goofy reason your name and picture was different.. I thought it was an IMPOSTER!! Darn.. if only I could reverse that.. oh well. I'll make it up by starring a question in the near future. Is that okay?
