Toyota bashes there way to there first Busch Series manufacturers victory at ORP.

Short track racing at its finest and its Indy, I have always enjoyed watching both the Truck Series and the Busch Series race at Indianapolis Raceway Park, what a hard track to pass on, they say that there's at least two groves, but unlike most short tracks, the fastest way around here is on top, but not on this night as a couple of drivers found the best way to pass was on the bottom. I would have thought that finally this night would have belong to Aric Almirola as he started on pole and dominated early on, but once he was mirrored back in traffic, he just couldn't go no where and that gave Biffle the lead.

One thing that caught every one's attention was during the second set of pit stops when during Hornaday's pit stop, the front tire carrier was hit sending him to the ground and the tire flying on to the car that hit him, what a scary hit, the result were a broken toe, glad to see he's OK.

Leffler, who was on 50 lap fresher tires at the end of the race battled and in most cases bashed his way past a couple of drivers including Hornaday in the early laps and Reutimann in the closing laps. On the final caution flag, Reutimann let Leffler know he wasn't happy with his driving and I don't blame him one bit. Just one question, what does Jason Leffler get for giving Toyota there first manufacturers victory and was it worth it (In terms of who you had to go through to get it...)?

This one is huge for Toyota, to get there first manufacturers victory in the Busch Series just like the Truck Series has shown everyone that they can complete against the big 3 in Detriot.

The same can't be said for the Truck race, if anyone was up to watch this one, an opening battle between Hornaday and Skinner banging on each other in the early laps was all she wrote, Skinner would drop back and what victory for Hornaday, even more, a huge gain the points.
See Yeah!

It's a good thing he didn't have any serious injuries. Otherwise, it could've been his last job as a tire carrier.
