Toyota grabs first place in NASCAR Sprint Cup

This from Inside Line...

Busch and teammate Tony Stewart finished 1st and 2nd in the fourth race of the 36-race schedule. It was the first victory in NASCAR's top series for a foreign brand since Al Keller won in a Jaguar in 1954.

Hate to say it but this may be the first but it won't be the last for Toyota in the Sprint Nextel cup, while Toyota seems to have trouble finding it's  way to a victory in Formula one  even with a mountain of money to spend, Nascar is a different animal with a much easier learning curve. 

Once again the hollowed ground of the domestic auto industry has  been invaded, what comfort Chevy and the like could have taken in Toyotas lack of a first place victory in the racing series has now gone up with the tire smoke in Kyle Busch's Victory burn out.
