That's why for me I believe to credit Chevy before you credit Tony's team and all the hard work that Hendrick provided would be incorrect to me. Tony is a great driver and deserved to be this years champ.
For this reason I would have to agree with the two guys you quoted to. Not that Chevy had no role at all though.

Basically there are three engine suppliers, Hendricks, Roush/Yates, TRD/JGR ... The only stand alone teams are DEI/Ganassi and Penske. The only point I was making was the manufactures are still involved. Everything else NASCAR has developed and made templates for the teams to follow.
