Toyota's Time Is Now
By Mark Young
Las Vegas, what happens there stays there......I say B.S.!! This weekend will be the first points victory for Toyota in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and it will speak millions for the NASCAR world. The Gibbs' teams have been too strong so far in this short 2-race season. Kyle Busch has been up front both races, he is out to prove Rick Hendrick that he made a bad decision to replace him with Dale Earnhardt Junior. Tony Stewart has been up front and in case you haven't noticed Brian Vickers has made both races and been very strong in both. Call me stupid, but I have a feeling Toyota is a lock for Vegas.
I might be way off, and if I am I will admit it in front of all of you but something is telling me this is Kyle Busch's weekend to shine. First off it is his home track, it always means more to win at home. And if it isn't Kyle then Tony is going to climb the fence on Sunday. Gibbs has found power that they couldn't find with the Chevy's and I just have a gut feeling that this is the race that Toyota will shine.
Tell me if I am crazy, we will find out Sunday night. Call me a band wagon jumper, this is Kyle's weekend, whether I like it or not.
U WANT SOME?

Mark,
I'm betting you're wrong, you band wagoner. There'll be no, "Oh, what a feeling," this weekend. Too many great drivers run too well at this track. This, being the actual first race of the season (since Daytona is a unique event, and Cali should never be considered a race), means that a lot is at stake. The 1.5's are the meat and potatoes of racing, and no-one likes M&P better than HMS. And don't count out the fords, either. Some guy named Kenseth runs well here, and Edwards can mix it up. So while Kyle is slippin' and slidin' to the crooning of DW's man-love, he's got too much competition to be the favorite.

Mark,
Boris Said crawled out on the limb before you did. He predicted on NASCAR Now last night that Kyle Busch will win all the races this weekend at Vegas. So if you fall off, you should have a soft landing on that head of hair :-).
