Toyota becoming competitive after 30 races?

The major argument surrounding Toyota's entry into Nextel Cup concerned the length of time it would need to become competitive. The answer appears to be about 30 races. Toyota's numbers are getting interesting. At Talladega, Toyota finished ahead of Dodge and Ford as Dave Blaney was third. Blaney was sixth last week at Lowe's, where the top Ford was fifth and the top Dodge was eighth. Toyotas have qualified decently this year, and that was capped at Talladega where five of its cars qualified in the top 10. The story: It's becoming the Big Four. -- KC Star

They still suck. Real stock cars dont need green cards.

I'm glad to see they're starting to get it together now. I look for them to do pretty good next year.

Yeah Clutch I know. But I got to have something to ***** about. The Yota's have at least taken the place of tail end Charlie. The Chryslers have moved up a notch on the totem pole. But nothing can knock off the Ford.

Stewart in Texas and the Glenn, Kyle Busch in the Daytona 500 and Bristol and Denny Hamlin in Pocono. There you go 5 wins.

I would do that if it wasn't Vikings, Packers, Cardinals, Illinois, or Iowa State logos involved I'm fine with it.
