Default Toyota uses a Busch to win it's 1st Cup race

Kyle Busch dominated the Kobalt Tools 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway Sunday, giving Toyota its first victory in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and Busch his first Cup victory since moving to Joe Gibbs Racing.

Busch, who led 173 of 325 laps and clearly was the class of the field all race long, extended his series points lead in the process, as he won his second race of the weekend to go with his NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series victory here Friday night.

It was the first victory by a foreign automaker in NASCAR

No wonder Toyota can't win an F1 race... they've put all their money into Nascar

Which is good news for us Honda F1 fans

Definitely news worthy!

Unfortunatly Honda needs more than just Toyota to be distracted to do any "damage " in F1

You have to be a REAL optimist to be a Honda F1 fan

At the risk of being ostracized, I believe you've made an error: it's spelt: M-A-S-O-C-H-I-S-T.

Are you suggesting you'd like to see more of "The Flav"?
