There are a total of 62 Nextel Cup teams who get their engines from 13 Nextel engine shops. Each engine shop produces one brand of racing engine, either Chevy, Dodge, Ford or Toyota. One of the 13 supplies more teams than any other shop, while two shops are tied for 2nd and two more are tied for 4th in the number of teams they support.

To get this one right, you must name the top 5 engine shops and it's rank among the suppliers and the brand of engine it supplies.

I'll get you started by listing the 13 engine shops in no particular order:

• DEI/RCR
• Everham
• TRD
• Ernie Elliott
• Barnes & Reese
• Hendrick
• Joe Gibbs Racing
• Pro Motors
• Penske Jasper
• Bill Davis Racing
• Yates/Roush
• Ron Puryear
• Morgan McClure

Now all you have to do is list the top 5 shops in order and identify what brand of engine they produce.

Makes was easy, The positions was just a process of elimination and guessing. Hell of a question though. Will need to try and research this one.

• there are 23 teams running Chevy engines,
  • DEI/RCR provides Chevy engines for #01, #07, #09, #1, #8, #15, #29, #31 & #33
• 16 teams running Dodge engines,
• 13 teams running Ford engines, and
• 11 teams running Toyota engines
  • TRD provides Toyota engines for #00, #03, #23, #27, #44, #55, #83, #84 & #91

• Ron Puryear provides Chevy engines for #4, and is tied for last with
• Barnes & Reese who provide Dodge engines for #89 and is tied for last with
• Pro Motors who provides Chevy engines for #27 and is tied for lst with
• Morgan McClure who provides Chevy engines for #04
• Bill Davis Racing is next to last and provides Toyota engines for #22 & #36
• Penske-Jasper is next up the chain and provides Dodge engines for #2, #12, & #06
