A post-race comment got me thinking....
*Seems* to me like over the last decade or so...whenever Chevys were strong...not much complaints. But whenever a Toyota or Ford got strong, it was off to the dyno to measure horsepower...

Am I wrong :ques:

Interesting. Haven't thought about it like that, but you may have a point. I like how Dale Jarrett put it: Something to the effect that qualifying was a "formal affair", in that "bow ties were required". Of course DJ drove a Ford...

Chevy has been a perpetual whiner in NASCAR.

This is nothing compared to the whining over the Dodge and Plymouth in the 60's.

Yes but this doesn't measure horsepower (as I understand it..)....Remember not so long ago everyone was complaining about Toyota & off to the dyno the engines went....
