General Discussion » What is really wrong with Dale Jr
Only JR knows. He's always said he does not like the COT car. And I think that is stuck in his head. Eventually he will get it and accept it. ( I HOPE ).
Chevy won't use Camaro as Nationwide COT

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Chevrolet will not use the Camaro brand when the Nationwide Series goes to the car of tomorrow, sources said Thursday at Daytona International Speedway.
Richard Childress Racing built the new car for General Motors that has been tested in the wind tunnel. The current version is an Impala – the same as the Sprint Cup car – but that could change to a Malibu.
NASCAR hopes to go to a COT for the series in 2009 but has yet to announce definite plans. Only Dodge, which will use the Challenger, has announced its Nationwide brand for the COT.
It was originally thought that the Camaro would be used by Chevrolet as NASCAR moved to a “pony” or “heritage” car design. But those plans changed before the Chevrolet version was built.
