How much can a change in team-manufacturer affiliation affect the balance of power in NASCAR? Plenty. If you don’t believe it, just look at the statistics from the just-completed NASCAR Premier Series season. In 2016, Toyotas won 16 Premier Series points races, to 12 for Chevrolet and eight for Ford. Toyota also won its first NASCAR Premier Series Manufacturers’ Championship this year after 10 years of trying. That meant that…
