Chevrolet Wins 2005 Manufacturers Championship
(Filed under: News)It's no real surprise, but Chevy walks home with the 2005 NASCAR Manufacturers title. They beat Ford by 13 points (I think, the standings haven't been updated, so I did the math myself), though I think I heard they locked it up a few weeks back. Goes to show nobody really cares.
Chevy's won the title four of the last five years, and it's not too surprising. Who even drives Fords? Roush, Yates and the Wood Brothers all field Fords, but that's about it. That accounts for 8 cars, plus a few hardly competitive stragglers. Chevy has a much stronger and larger stable with the Hendrick, Gibbs, DEI and Richard Childress teams. Even Dodge seems to pick up more random teams than Ford does: Penske, Evernham, Ganassi, Petty, Bill Davis.
It's as if Roush Racing is single-handedly keeping Ford in NASCAR. Oh well, that's just a Ford fan whining.
