Am I crazy or what!!
« on: 01/31/10, 07:45 PM »
The car Logano ran in the Showdown last night looked a whole lot like a Chevy Impala to me, but they identified it as a Toyota during the telecast..  Have I gone nutz or is it a Chevy??

Well, that's definitely Impala headlights. As far as the powerplant under the hood............?

I would say whoever owned the car runs Chevy's normally, but since Logano is a Toyota man, that's what sticker got thrown on it.

Don't think NASCAR allows you to run a Yoda motor in a Chevy body, or vice versa, So........  My guess is it was a Chevy, the tail lights also looked like Impala lights and if ya look at the grill opening,   definately NOT Toyota, also from the side, the rear windows are definately of Chevrolet origin...  They may have taken an Impala and plastered Toyota decals on it so Joey would not get into trouble with JGR...

It is a Chevy, but because of the JGR/Logano contract with Toyota he had to make it a "Toyota", NASCAR probably looked the other way since it was the TOYOTA Showdown and they had a cup driver there.

You might be a NASCAR fan if you can remember every driver and their car number but can't remember how old your children are!
