The car in front at AMS is a Toyota.

Sunday, 9th March 2008

In their 40th Sprint Cup Series race Toyota finally have their maiden points paying race victory thanks to Kyle Busch and Joe Gibbs Racing.

Sam Hornish Jr was the leading rookie home; two laps behind Busch in 25th position while Dario Franchitti had another tough afternoon and was 33rd, four laps off the pace.

Only Edwards and Sadler failed to finish leaving 41 cars still circulating at the end but such were the track conditions that the final seven finishers were all at least five laps behind despite suffering no mechanical or accident related delays.

Next weekend there should be no such problems for the drivers or teams as they travel to the half-mile Bristol Motor Speedway for some good old fashioned short track racing.
