  Discuss



• This is Toyota's 2nd season -- and 32nd race --- in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCTS).
• A Toyota Tundra has captured the checkered flag 4 times in 31 NCTS races.
• Todd Bodine (California & Texas, '04) and Travis Kvapil (Michigan & New Hampshire, '04) each have two wins driving Tundras.
• This is Johnny Benson's first top-5 finish of 2005.  His previous best was a 10th at Daytona.
• Bill Lester's 6th-place finish is the best NCTS result of his career.  His previous best finishing position was 10th here at Lowe's and also at Kansas.

6th, BILL LESTER, Bill Davis Racing, No. 22 Combs Tundra: "I'm really happy for the Checkers Toyota.  We were good from the word go.  The test here two weeks ago really paid off.  We had a good qualifying run and then when the green flag came out -- it was good.  We fell back a little  bit -- my truck was tight -- but the guys made the right adjustments.  It was good after that.  I'm really mad at myself because I tried to take down the fence in Turn 4.  But, we made a decision whether to come in or stay out -- and we decided to stay out.  It was the right call.  It's a good run for the 22 team.  I'm really proud.  It was pretty much a good night.  We had to make some slight adjustments.  Once we did that it was pretty much just click off laps and try to stay away from the mess.  We came through unscathed, so I think our luck is changing.  We definitely have the momentum going and everyone at Bill Davis Racing is pumped up.  I'm excited."

26th, MIKE SKINNER, Bill Davis Racing, No. 5 Toyota Tundra,  "I feel like I let my guys down.  We had a really good truck.  I was just trying to pass a lapped car (No. 29) and I don't think he gave me very much room.  A lapped truck didn't cut the leader any slack -- and the leader is supposed to be smart enough to know who isn't going to give any room.  I don't blame anyone but myself.  It was more my fault -- I knew the level of experience of everyone out there and I'm supposed to be smarter than that.  He was comnmitted down on the bottom.  I guess I should have just given him a little more room."     

"My Toyota Tundra was awfully strong tonight.  We got us a four or five second lead and slowed down and were just riding along -- running some laps.  Most of the guys we were coming up on and lapping could see how fast we were and knew they couldn't hold us off."

30th, CHAD CHAFFIN, Germain/Arnold Racing, No. 30 Germain Toyota/Arnold Development Tundra:  How was your night?  "It wasn't great, but it was good.  Everybody was struggling out there -- there were trucks all over the place.  Unless you were out in the lead, you were in trouble.  I don't know what it was -- but you've seen a lot of good drivers and a lot of good trucks spin out tonight.  Every time I passed someone low I had to really hold on.  I think the surface is so fast and we had a really hard tire -- you can really go good by yourself, but it's really hard to race."

4th, JOHNNY BENSON, Bill Davis Racing, No. 23 Toyota West/Toyota Certified Tundra:  "It was a good run for us tonight.  Yesterday, I struggled pretty bad.  At the start of the race we made a couple of changes and we were pretty excited about how the race was going.  We felt that we were going to run pretty good -- and we did."

"Yesterday, I hit the wall during qualifying.  But, they did a good job putting the truck back together and I was able to run in the top-five tonight.  I'm just real proud of everyone at Bill Davis Racing." 

"Tonight was tough.  We started last, but once we started moving forward it got better.  My truck was good and we thought we had a shot at getting up front.  But, I just wasn't good enough tonight to get the lead.  We got fourth and we'll take it."

31st, TODD BODINE, Bill Davis Racing No. 66 Fiddle Back Racing Tundra:  "We started off really loose and then I spun out -- we got sucked around.  We adjusted the truck and it was better, but it was still way to loose.  We were running under the 07 (Sean Murphy) -- he just bounced off the wall and got into me.  It knocked the tow way out -- and the truck was actually better.  We were going to be okay.  Our truck was good and driveable.  Then I went under Timothy (Peters, No. 4) and the left front tire went flat.  That's how I got up into Timmy.  I just must have run something over.  The track had a lot of stuff on it.  I hate it for our Toyota Tundra team -- we struggled a bit - then got better before the left front tire went out."
