TOYOTA RACING: O'Reilly 200 Pre-Race Notes
TruckSeries.com Report Printer Version 

  Discuss



TUNDRA MEMPHIS HISTORY:  Toyota Tundras have won two out of the four NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series (NCTS) races in which they have participated on the three-quarter-mile track at Memphis Motorsports Park.  Brandon Whitt (2005) won from the pole in the Red Horse Racing Tundra and Jack Sprague (2006) also won from the pole driving the Wyler Racing Tundra.  In 2007, Brad Keselowski earned the pole in the No. 9 Tundra for Germain Racing.

ELVIS EMORTALIZED:  "I'm ready to put the Elvis trophy in the lobby at Germain Racing," said Bodine who scored his best NCTS finish at Memphis in 2007 with an eighth place finish. "I've had some good races there, we've had some very good Tundras there and I'm looking forward to getting a win there for the Lumber Liquidators associates in Memphis and for our guys at Germain that work so hard on our short track program."

BACK TO BACK TO BACK:  Johnny Benson earned his third consecutive NCTS victory at The Milwaukee Mile on Friday night, as well as his first win of the season in the Bill Davis Racing N o. 23 Toyota Certified Used Vehicles Tundra.  The Grand Rapids, Mich.-native started from the pole and led the field three times for a race-high 130 laps in the 200-lap event.   "It is a little overwhelming to be able to win three races here," said Benson, following the race.  "It will sink in after a day or two.  Milwaukee is not too far from where I grew up, just on the other side of the lake.  I've won an ASA (American Speed Association) race here, and I've come close in a Nationwide (Series) race before, but to win three truck races here in a row is just incredible."

FOUR IN TEN:  Four Tundra drivers are currently in the top-10 in NCTS point standings after 11 of 25 races.  Benson sits atop the standings by 50 points over second-place Bodine, Skinner (sixth) and Terry Cook (seventh).

TUNDRA TRIUMPHS:  Toyota Tundras have won six of the 12 NCTS races this season.  In addition to Benson's first win of the season at Milwaukee (6-20-08), rookie Scott Speed scored his first career NCTS victory at Dover (5-30-08) and Bodine won the season-opener at Daytona (2-15-08).  Busch also has a pair of wins at California (2-23-08) and Atlanta (3-7-08).  This season, Tundra drivers have recorded 26 top-fives and 50 top-10 finishes, as well as leading 992 laps.

MANUFACTURER'S MATH:  Toyota holds the lead in all three 2008 manufacturer's championship point standings in the three premiere NASCAR series.  Toyota is eight points ahead of Chevrolet in the NSCS, has an 20-point advantage over Chevrolet in NNS, and leads Chevrolet by one point for the NCTS manufacturer's points lead.
