Great to hear that the Toyota engine is literally running laps around the other "American" car makers.

No kidding. I know that Denny Hamlin commented after the race that he has never had power like he had on Sunday. I saw quite a few times where one of the Toyotas would hook up with another car in the draft and could literally pull a 20 car length lead. There were quite a few instances where Hamlin would push the car ahead of him into the lead and then would pull down and pull at least another 5 car lengths. You arent supposed to do that at a track where the use restrictor plates.
Toyota has been besting the American V8s for a few years now though. I know that in both the Nationwide series and the Craftsman truck series that the engine they currently use will be outlawed starting next year because it makes too much power. Toyotas consistently pull at least 20 hp more than any Ford, Chevy or Dodge on the chassis dyno.
I personally think its awesome that Toyota is beating the domestics at their own game.

Just waiting for Ford, Chevy and Dodge to start bitching to NASCAR about the HP that the Toyota makes.

Chevy has been for a while now and Jack Roush has threatened to pull out of NASCAR, stating that he cant compete with a company like Toyota.
One of the biggest fears that people had at first was that Toyota was going to come in, throw a lot of money around, recruit the best talent and dominate the sport. That hasnt been the case though. Toyota is starting out small and is gradually building their NASCAR program.
Look at last year. They have Michael Waltrip Racing, Team Redbull and Bill Davis Racing. Thats hardly what you could call buying up the best teams in NASCAR.
Late last year, after Joe Gibbs Racing was unhappy with how Chevy was treating them, they switched to Toyota. Gibbs is a good team, but they are far from being the powerhouse team that Hendrick, Richard Childress Racing and Roush-Fenway Racing is.
Granted, you have a select few people who resent Toyota being in NASCAR, stating that it should be for, "American" brands only, but for the most part Toyota has been welcomed and accepted by the NASCAR community.
I think its pretty cool. The Camry is the best-selling car in America and has been for a number of years, I think its only fitting that it be represented in America's most popular form of motorsport.

im just waiting for nissan and honda to get in on this, toyota has some pretty big balls to break the forigin line in NASCAR racing. kudos to them.
