Is a Ford Dead Money to Win?

Help me out Guru's of the NASCAR Forum. Are the Ford's just a tad behind this year vs. Toyota, Chevy and Dodge? A Ford has yet to win a race this year and the Toyota teams are a com'in on strong! Kasey Kahne is one of my favorite decent odds plays in Charlotte, but should I ever back a Ford at this point until they prove they can win? (btw I'm getting the same feeling with Jeff Gordon. ah another discussion for another day) OK, what's the deal? Is it time I stay away from a Ford to win until they, um , win? Or change something with the car? As always, your help is valued and priceless

 ty, goggles

 if bifle or carl win the showdown does that count as a win?? 

I think its time to stay away from fords for the time being until they can prove they can race wit chevy/toyota

since the spoilers have come on JGR have been red hot it may be auto plays oif the 11 18 20

I agree with Penn State Man..I think its wise to stay away from Fords until they win something. Its obvious Chevy/Toyota are a step ahead of them right now.

Goggles I played Kahne for allstar race as he does run good there.Hope they can find a bit more horsepower

goggles, its been since Nov 1st that ford has won, that was with McMurry (at dega)who is now drivin a chevy and you have to go all the way back to Cal Feb 22 for fords next win(Kenseth).

I can`t see backing a ford right now  but like Dennis said Kahne does get around Charlotte pretty well. And again agree with Dennis they are lacking in horsepower.

Good input all, ty. Lugs I didn't realize Ford's won 1 non plate race in 2009 and 2010 combined. 3 total if we count Dega and Daytona in 2009. how much $ have i pissed away on a Ford during this time? Stats, sure the All Star Race counts, not the Showdown.  Dennis, I luv KK at Charlotte and he was coming on strong last year until the rain/pit stop episode which Rueti won. PSM , yea how about it? JGR is rolling along (I grabbed some Denny to win it all at +1200 two weeks ago). Maceo, yup it's going to be a Chevy or Toyota on the win for now. btw, the fishing report this evening is 1 Striper in the cooler and 1 missed. thx all. time for a few cold 1's

From watching early practice for Showdown race.Edwards car looks pretty fast

Kahne is the only Ford I would back right now. He's good at Charlotte & seems to run best at night. He had an awesome car last week if he didn't have a problem with his shifter.
