Since the beginning of the season, Toyota teams have dominated in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, capturing 14 wins so far. Many critics, especially Jack Roush, have argued that the Toyota teams have had so much success in the NASCAR Nationwide series because of a horsepower advantage in the engine package developed by Toyota Racing Development. After continuous testing throughout the season in the dyno machines, NASCAR finally acknowledged the critic's concerns and issued a technical bulletin requiring all the teams using Toyota engines to reduce the amount of horsepower in order to provide an even level of competition among the four manufacturers in the series. But will this move by NASCAR finally end criticism that the sanctioning body has shown favoritism towards Toyota?
