Toyota NASCAR Notes & Quotes Sonoma June 2011

TOYOTA NASCAR NOTES & QUOTES Week of June 20 – 26, 2011 TOYOTA TIDBITS  

DENNY DELIVERS IN MICHIGAN:  Camry driver Denny Hamlin earned his first victory of the 2011 season in Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) race at Michigan International Speedway.  He started 10th and took the lead with eight laps remaining after a 6.8-second, two-tire pit stop during the final caution of the race.    

The win was Hamlin’s fifth top-10 result in the last seven races, which has catapulted him from 20th in the points in April to his current position of ninth in the standings.  Camry drivers Kyle Busch (third) and Brian Vickers (10th) also earned top-10 results at the two-mile oval.  

STRING OF THIRDS:  A third-place result in the NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) race at Michigan International Speedway was Busch’s fifth-consecutive top-three finish, beginning with a victory at Talladega Superspeedway in April.  In 11 NNS starts in 2011, Busch has finished third or better in eight races, including five wins.  In addition to Busch’s third- place result at Michigan, Joey Logano finished sixth.    

ROAD COURSE RACERS: Toyota drivers have one victory (Busch, 2008) and one pole (Vickers, 2009) at Northern California’s Infineon Raceway.  In addition to Busch’s win in 2008, Camry drivers have collected three other top-five finishes at Infineon, including a fifth-place result by Hamlin in 2009.  Toyota drivers have led more than 40 percent of laps at the 11-turn road course since 2007 (185 of 445 total laps) with Busch leading 88 laps, Hamlin out front for 33 laps, Vickers for 16 laps and Martin Truex Jr. has led one lap.  

CALIFORNIA CONNECTION: Toyota driver Casey Mearsgrew up in Bakersfield, Calif., and watched his father Roger and Uncle Rick compete in open-wheel racing.  Mears began his racing career competing on road courses in open-wheel racing.  He made the jump to NASCAR in 2002 and has one Sprint Cup Series victory (Charlotte, 2007) and one Nationwide Series victory (Chicagoland, 2006) on his racing resume.  This year, he’s competing for Germain Racing in the No. 13 GEICO Camry.  In seven starts at Sonoma, Mears has one top-five and two top-10 finishes.  

WISCONSIN WINS:  This weekend’s NNS race at Road America is the second for the series, but Toyota is no stranger to victory lane in the state of Wisconsin.  Since joining the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) in 2004 — and NNS in 2007 — Toyota drivers previously competed at the Milwaukee Mile.  Toyota had three straight NCWTS victories at the ‘Mile’ — all by Johnny Benson — in 2006, 2007 and 2008.  In NNS competition, Toyota has a pair of runner-up finishes at Milwaukee – by Logano (2008) and Busch (2009).

Official 2008 Michigan Primary Results | You Decide Politics

It was a HIllary “win”, but also a small win for those Democrats looking to vote for someone besides Hillary. If I am not mistaken, an uncommitted vote needs at least 15% in order to have delegates elected who are “uncommitted” and willing to commit at the national poll in Colorado.

Now, this is probably moot since none of the delegates for the Democrats will go, but in case they do, Obama and Edwards have chosen the most beneficial way to maximize their loss.

Mitt Romney deserves this Countrys vote. Just look at his family. I don’t know about you but they look very close and very caring. We need a role model for those people who dont have the same family values.

He is a leader in Economy. He knows how to make money and keep it. He knows how small and large companies run as his own situation has taught him that.

Yes he changed his mind on abortion but is that so horrible. We are stuck with a current president who for the life of him wont admit hes wrong and fix the problems. You cant have it both ways. Either you want a president who is willing admit somethings wrong and take the steps to fix it or your looking for another president like the current one who now holds office.

His immigration policies are AWESOME. If your not here illegally then get out. It’s like going to the movies and not paying. Are we going to let you stay if u pay 1 dollar more. Of course not your getting booted and thats his policy. And i dont want to hear this crap that Americans dont want the jobs the illegals have. Who cares. Take all the Welfare people and place them there. They dont like it get a different job and quit begging from the government.

His policies on the War are solid also. President Bush made some good decisions and some not so good decisions. Mitt stuck with him on the good decisions and now we need him to fix President Bushes bad decisions. Should we be there YES. Should we be there in 5 years ABsolutley not and i think that Mitt Romney is the one who will get it done and get out.
