Why does Chevy win everything

Bill Elliot at least kept Ford up front, what is it about Chevy that they dominate NASCAR? Motors, drivers, chasis, I wish I knew.

Currently Ford has only one team (Roush) that is considered a threat to win every week. And with that team you can't consider David Ragan a threat to win, so that leaves four drivers. With Chevy you have the other top three dominate teams in NASCAR with Gibbs, Childress, and Hendrick. Chevy has a few more better drivers and more teams. The numbers are better for Chevy right now.

You're so right! Chevy ROCKS! Ford used to win a lot of races early on. Plymouth/Dodge had their run with "KING" Richard and a few others. Of course Pontiac/Olds have some good drivers back in the 60's, but they're still part of GM!
Check the stats out over the past 25-30 years.
