I can see where there would be bragging rights in the olds days when they actually drove "stock" cars, but today all of the cars are regulted so heavily there is virtually no difference between a car powered by Ford, Chevy or Toyota. It comes down to the driver, crews an even a little luck, some days, to determine a winner.
Congratulations definitely need to go out to Harvick and his team, for sure, but giving props to Chevrolet for the win is weak, IMHO.

While I strongly agree with your sentiments, each mfr. still builds their own engines, therefore, props are deserved for Chevrolet.
Getting back to the cars appearance, I personally think its a joke. NASCAR is getting very close to IROC with the Sprint Cup cars.
I'm with you, the cars should better represent their respective mfr.!
