Not to say privateers from those marques won't be running on their own with some back-door support from the manufacturers. Its happened before with other series, so the precedent has been set.

I miss the original NATCC with production based cars, etc. but in the long run, anything that gets more professional road racing in the US is a good thing, IMO.

Love the facebook replies at the bottom

one guy said: If ever there were a more ideal racing platform for the Camaro, Mustang, and Challenger... The Big 3 need to drop NASCAR's deformed Nationwide ponycars like a hot rock and sign on with the DTM.

another replied: You want them to drop the silhouette cars that only turn left that just happen to be the most popular motorsport series in the country for the silhouette cars that can't pass each other or make light contact without breaking?
