And the fact that Plymouth, Chrysler, Buick, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, and AMC are gone out of NASCAR and have been replace with the COT and Toyota's.

Indycar has had foreign made engines before (Benz, Mercedes, Mercedes-Benz, Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Pugeot). We also have had foreign car makes before; those listed above as well as March, Lola, Reynard, McLaren, Lotus, Cooper and Dallara. The huge difference is those makes were accepted alot more than in NASCAR, although rear engine cars are still looked at as being a bad thing.
