But, like any other sport (NFL included), money talks and I'm sure Toyota threw a truck load at Gibbs. Another thought however: JG switched from Pontiac to Chevy years ago and that was successful. Yet, Chevy was a proven mfr. vs. Toyota being a rookie in Cup racing. It'll be interesting to see if he can make this work (sounds like his return to the Redskins sort of).

Yeah, when JGR switched, Chevy was #1, he made an upgrade there...this time he took the worst down grade he could have made. He could have chose Ford, or Dodge, but took the worst car in NASCAR. I'm sure Toyota will be good eventually, but to expect a miracle next year or any time soon is not realistic.
Viva Hendrick motorsports!
