When Toyota first came to NASCAR specifically Joe Gibbs Nationwide team domination of 2008 many felt the Toyota motors motors were too powerful and people like Jack Roush, Chevy teams etc complained and NASCAR made the teams using Toyota power run a tapered spacer kind of like a restrictor plate mandatory for all Toyota teams to decrease the hp. That is counter productive to competition. They would never do that to Chevy or Ford. Now with the new rules on hp reduction for everyone, there is no reason a Toyota driver can't win the Championship. Remember 2013? Kenseth 7 wins and almost won the Championship. Kyle Busch won 8 races in 2008. IMO, the 2015 Sprint Cup Champion will be...... Carl Edwards.
