Yeah, as usual NASCAR bent over backwards to appease someone else, and in the process made Mopar grab their ankles. History just keeps repeating itself.
Repeating itself over and over. Both Wally Parks (NHRA) and Bill France (NASCAR) always had hard ons for Chevy so much that they did everything they could to make sure Chevy won up to and including sanctioning and or down right banning other makes when someone came up with something faster. Chrysler saw years of sanctions and Ford's SOHC 427 has been the only engine ever down right banned right from the rip with NASCAR. They knew Ford was fixin to dominate if they ever had the chance to get out there and work the bugs outta that nine foot long timing chain.
