Busch ( soon to be Nationwide ) series to get Mustangs

[Sabre]

Sounds like the early rumors might just be true...we might be seeing the Mustang body competing against the Camaro and Challenger body styles in 2009!

This from Jayski's Nascar site:

Nationwide COT to use different suspension package: NASCAR Nationwide Series Director Joe Balash said Thursday that the car scheduled to be used in the series in 2009 will have a different front suspension package than the Sprint Cup version. The Nationwide car of tomorrow will have a spring package like the one used in current cars, Balash said. Sprint Cup cars, which will all be the model formerly known as the COT beginning in 2008, use "bump-stops" on the front suspension instead of the "coil-binding" setup on current Nationwide cars. Balash also said plans call for the Nationwide COT to be rolled out in all races in 2009. The Nationwide cars also will use a different body style, with a higher hood and shorter deck lid. Manufacturers are still deciding what model to use, though it appears likely Ford will run a Mustang, Chevrolet a Camaro and Dodge a Challenger. Toyota likely will stick to the Camry, sources said. Balash said all four manufacturers have been involved in the design of the new car. The car has one more round of wind tunnel tests before NASCAR can lock down the ¹09 rules, Balash said. Balash said the new rules package will likely be announced in January.(SceneDaily.com)(12-7-2007)

You can call a brick what ever you want to but in the end it is still looks like a brick.... They would do as well just calling them FORD, CHEVY, DODGE & TOYOTA.

x2, why not just call them all bricks and get it over with. They arent built by any manufacturer, and they are all identical.

Ill be excited if they ever return to stock car bodies.
