Toyota Camry NASCAR Sprint Cup Car - Car and Driver

In the Hot Seat: NASCARs drivers arent huge fans of the Car of Tomorrow. They say it doesnt handle and its hot as hell, too. We drive a Sprint Cup car to see what all the fuss is about.

I think I would have more interest in Nascar if they did more road course racing.

you will have more fun diving a slow car fast on a corse with lots of turns vs a high HP nascar type car with no handling or traction

People don't want to hear the music most of the time, we want to hear the car!!!

@TheThumper49  Kyle won the 09 NNS championship and since 2008 toyota has claimed has won 27 races in the cup series and about 40 in the nationwide series...do some research before you go babbling on you moron.

Remember the superbird? We used to benefit as consumers from nascar racing, but toyota has never produced a stock production car with a pushrod v-8 for the public, if nascar wants to change rules how about lets race real STOCK CARS like it was supposed to be, the only mods allowed/required should be the safety equipment, otherwise race them as stock! Imagine the 2013 Ford GT and the 2013 ZR-1 vette racing the million dollar toyota car, and they are all for sale to the public.

hahaha nascar virgin

[goldass96]

that track would be an awesome nascar track

Toyota came into NASCAR in 2007. How many cup or Nationwide championships have they won? NONE. Joe Gibbs had three championships with Chevy, then their geniuses decided rice was the future. How's that working out for you Joe? Stupid stupid stupid.

@sstroh08 indeed. i always thought nascar was easy till trying it out in gran turismo 5. HARD AS FUCK! the car doesn't want to stay stable. It takes a TON of skill!

Respond to this video... i understand what u mean, but they dont want nothing high tech in those cars thats the point, its not supposed to be fancy machines working with help of a driver, you got to have skill and be tough, and the chevy ro7 and ford fr9 are old school push rod small block 358 ci [5.7 L] v8s, they make around 950 hp and are expected to run 9500 rpms -9500 rpms!- for 5 hours, ive seen a car go 30 laps after steaming out all of its water, NO COOLING! thats endurance...
