In the last week I have personally seen two shops who BUILD and develop motors for the Cup boys. Dodge and Chevy are fighting the game neck and neck. I will give you that the Chevy guys have more money chasing it, but I love how the Ford and Dodge guys make it happen and innovate.
All of this is irrelevant in NASCAR anymore. The manufacturer battle amounts to a hill-of-beans to the dip$hit's who run NASCAR. All they care about is pushing the popularity of the driver's, and they do that by ensuring parity within the cars. No matter what Ford does, the moment they go faster than the Chevy's or Dodge's, they'll slap an aero-restriction on the Taurus', or give the Monte's and Dodge's an aero-concession. NASCAR is so far from it's "stock-car" racing roots right now, it makes me sick. But, they did recently bring in Magic Johnson as a NASCAR advisor. Maybe HE can get things all straightened out....
