I was discussing NASCAR with a ford enthusiast, when all of the sudden he told me it was a ford rearend that got the Chevy across the line. I responded with facts.
NASCAR manufacturer championship facts.
2013 Chevrolet
2012 Chevrolet
2011 Chevrolet
2010 Chevrolet
2009 Chevrolet
2008 Chevrolet
2007 Chevrolet
2006 Chevrolet
2005 Chevrolet
2004 Chevrolet
2003 chevrolet
2002 ford
2001 Chevrolet
2000 ford
1999 ford
1998 Chevrolet
1997 ford
1996 Chevrolet
1995 Chevrolet
1994 ford
1993 Chevrolet
Meaning in 20yrs Chevy has won 15 times ten of which were consecutive. Compared to fords 5. If u go back farther ford only has 15 championships total, Chevrolet has 37. All of which was done using ford designed rear ends you know to keep things fair and more about the motors. Cause obviously it wasn't the rearend winning the races lol. Needless to as I won the argument.

PS if u count them as GM it jumps to 43, ford stays at 15, and the gm consecutive win streak jumps to 16yrs in a row 1976-1991

Maybe but manufactures championship is combined points from multiple teams and drivers, one driver didn't just show up and dominate for ten years straight

Would it be fair to say that ALL of the losers, back of the pack, barely limped through the end--- or not--- were also using Ford- designed rear ends?

None really.
I've weekend drag raced a few of my cars including my 1991 Camaro, but that's it.

I do like to mod my cars though, IF someone's going to rev at me on the street they better be ready to run.

Mostly sits in the garage, needs some TLC (paint).
Been DD the Shelby, but if Chevy would have come out with the ZL1 earlier that would be sitting in the driveway.

I've also been told john force dominated drag racing and drives ford. He won 16 championship titles 6 or 7 of which he earned driving gm cars along with being named driver of the year in 96 and becoming the first drag racer to receive that honor. In 96 he was still driving a Pontiac.
