Engine change could delay Toyota’s entry into NASCAR

UPDATE We are bumping this rumor up to 'strong' today based on comments from Toyota documented in this rumor. 05/03/05 With the rumor recently that NASCAR may delay its Car of The Future until 2007 and its common engine until 2008, comes speculation that Toyota will delay its entry into Nextel Cup until 2008. Why build all those new engines for teams in 2007, the year Toyota was expected to enter Nextel Cup, when in 2008 they will be trash?
