Well, NASCAR has officially died.
A TOYOTA has won the Daytona 500!

The rednecks might never recover.

I think Toyota placed 1st and 2nd in qualifying but a Dodge won the race.

Altough a Toyota didn't win, it is the ONLY car in NASCAR that is assembled in the USA.

WI Wide Body, isn't Ryan Newman a Wisconsinite?

I doubt there will be any problem with the acceptance of Toyota now that Gibbs is running them.

I struggled through the last ~25 laps. The caution flag is to the WWF folding chair is so true. How many caution flags were in the last 20 or so laps?

Dodge was all over the top 10.

Yeah, but all those were legitimate incidents... I saw lots of bent metal and smoked tires.

I stand corrected. The Camry is the only car assembled in the USA. THe Avenger, Impala in Canada, the Fusion in Mexico. Picky, picy, picky.

Nah, I think he's from Michigan originally. Kenseth gets all the ink here around Milwaukee.
