While Toyota competes with Ford, Chevy and Dodge on this country's NASCAR tracks, the pace cars leading them around have remained defiantly American – at least at Daytona, anyway. In the 50 years they've been running the Daytona 500, only once has the pace car been an import: the Porsche 914 that paced the race in 1971. Apart from that one exception, it's been all Detroit – Pontiacs mostly, but also Buicks, Chevrolets, Dodges, Plymouths and Fords.
