I have the Busch Clash Budweiser Shootout, and I just heard something annoying: Toyota are running commercials announcing "thanks for having us" as part of their introduction into the NASCAR Nextel Cup competition.
Funny, I don't remember Toyota asking me if I wanted them in the Nextel Cup championship.
My answer would have been an emphatic 'no'.
EDIT: The highlight of the evening was the return of Krista Voda to covering NASCAR. I haven't watched NASCAR Nation (is it even still on?) since her departure for whatever reason, but I've ranted on that before.
If we are going to have women covering traditionally male sports, then they might as well be competent. Competency, thy name is Voda.1
NB: SO SORRY, TOYOTA!

1 For the only known image gallery of Miss Voda, click here. She always was and always will be superior to Leeann Tweeden et al in motorsports journalism skill and other areas as well.
A January entry at Open Wheeler discusses Miss Voda's return to NASCAR Nextel Cup coverage, and is illustrated to boot. The lucky devil got to talk to her!
