Toyota Racing Weekend Recap

NASCAR® -- CUP CAMRYS, TUNDRAS CLOSE TO A PAIR OF MARTINSVILLE WINS Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch were both victims of short-track bump-and-run maneuvers at Virginia's Martinsville Speedway. In Sunday's race, Hamlin was denied defending his 2008 NASCAR® Sprint Cup Series™ (NSCS) victory at the track when Jimmie Johnson bumped and then passed him on lap 485 of the 500-lap race. Hamlin wound up finishing second in his No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing FedEx Toyota Camry. In Monday's postponed NASCAR® Camping World Truck Series™ (NCWTS) race, Busch's run for the win was denied when eventual race-winner Kevin Harvick nudged him on lap 241. The damage sustained by the contact with Harvick caused a tire rub on Busch's No. 51 Miccosukee Resort Tundra, and a series of unfortunate events relegated Busch to a 17th-place finish. For a complete recap and results from both races, please visit Toyota Racing. NHRA -- Al-ANABI DUO JUST MISS OUT ON HOUSTON FINAL In this weekend's NHRA event in Baytown, Texas, Del Worsham seemed destined for his first final-round appearance with the new Al-Anabi/Alan Johnson Racing Toyota Funny Car team. But in his semifinal with Ashley Force Hood -- a rematch of last year's final -- the defending race champion was forced to lift off after smoking his tires.

Busch Continues Hot Streak; Vickers Battles With the Best at Atlanta

In Sunday's 330-lap NASCAR® Sprint Cup Series™ (NSCS) race on the 1.5-mile Georgia oval, Brian Vickers looked poised to drive to victory lane, running down leader Kurt Busch for the final 30 laps before a debris caution with three laps to go set up a green-white-checker finish. The leaders came to pit road for fresh tires for the two-lap shootout, but Vickers, who came in second, restarted sixth. He fought to make up one spot in the No. 83 Red Bull Camry to finish fifth behind winner Busch, Jeff Gordon, Carl Edwards and Kevin Harvick. In Saturday's NASCAR® Camping World Truck Series™ (NCWTS) race, Kyle Busch won for his second consecutive victory in 2009 -- and fourth win in five career starts at Atlanta -- overcoming a faulty transmission in his No. 51 Miccosukee Tundra to charge to the checkered flag, winning Toyota's third race to open the 2009 season.
