And we all turn our heads and pretend not to notice that NASCAR is stuck in 40 year old engine technology! Damnitalltohell, if the 2005 Chevy Monte Carlo ( or the 2006 Toyota Avalon ) is running a 24 valve DOHC twin fuel injected V-6, then so should the car that shows up on the NASCAR track every weekend, no???
