Been a NASCAR fan for as long as I can remember and in that time I have owned 2 Toyota's, 2 Ford's, 1 Chevy, 1 Chrysler, 1 Volvo, 1 Honda and 1 Dodge.
 
Friends that are fans have an even mix of foreign and domestic's with most of the domestics being trucks.

That is one particular feature.
 
The "Fusion" raced on NASCAR tracks has no relationship whatsoever to the Fusion available on the showroom floor in engine size, chassis configuration or drivetrain layout.

I'm not a NASCAR fan and I'm not even a fan of driving fast but Mitsubishi's history of racing prowess has somewhat influenced my decision to buy a 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS with 5-speed transmission. Mitsubishi has won many Dakar Rallies and many races of different flavors that I can't recall off the top of my head because it's not part of my car crazy obsession to love car racing.
 
But I'm learning that those that do love it really love it and pour their heritage and love and sweat in to it and take it very seriously. I know that the Japanese are very intense car builders and Mitsubishi engineers are worthy of my respect.
 
I short I feel that racing does indeed sell cars. Although my input may not fit the "norm" in this regard, if indeed there is a norm to fit here any more.

I don't know those type of people. I guess I've been isolated from them.
