I have a picture somewhere of the starting grid of Daytona 500. The first 5 or six rows was almost all Pontiacs..Believe it was 1961 when Marvin Paunch won it in a 60 Pontiac..Smokey's #20..

And to this day it's still boring, especially with no Pontiacs. Why Toyota? They never have made a car that could be called a 'Stocker' for racing. But all of a sudden they're in NASCAR. That became the low point of racing. Next thing you know Nissan, Fiat, and the other foriegn crap will be on the NASCAR tracks.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
