I was glad that Blaney got 3rd. Its nice to see Toyota running well. If Waltrip's tire hadnt blown and if Reutimann, Vickers and Jarrett hadnt gotten taken out in crashes we could have very possibily been talking about Toyota taking their first win. I dont know what Toyota changed on the engines, but whatever they did it definetly upgraded the powerband because those 'Yotas were haulin'!
I found it very interesting that everyone said that the Toyotas had a qualifying setup whereas everyone else had a race setup and thats why they qualified so well and how the Toyotas most likely wouldnt finish, yet NONE of the Toyotas blew up and they were all running well.
This whole weekend was great for Toyota. They won their first ARCA race, won the truck series race, took 6 of the top 8 spots in qualifying for the Cup race and Blaney got 3rd.
