Kyle Busch’s victory in Saturday’s San Bernardino 200 at the Auto Club Speedway of Southern California is the 40th win for Toyota in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series (NCTS) since the start of the 2004 season (102 races). Busch led three times for a race-high 51 laps for his seventh-career NCTS win in 38 starts. Todd Bodine (second), Johnny Benson (third) and Terry Cook (fourth) also scored top-five finishes for Toyota. Other Tundra drivers in the field included Ted Musgrave (sixth), Mike Skinner (eighth), Phillip McGilton (10th), David Starr (13th) and Justin Marks (33rd).

KYLE BUSCH, No. 51 San Bernardino County Toyota Tundra, Billy Ballew Motorsports Finished: 1st Can you talk about the battle you had out there with Todd Bodine? “Todd Bodine got going pretty good during one run, but this San Bernardino Toyota Tundra was awesome today. I’ve got to thank all of these guys, Richie Wauters (crew chief) and everybody that works back at the shop. We had to do our switch over the winter and it was pretty tough, but the guys made it. They gave me some awesome trucks. We had a great one in Daytona and another great one here today. I can’t wait to get to Atlanta. Here is the start to hopefully a three-peat this weekend.” As you took the checkered flag you said three things over the radio. You said ‘awesome truck, thank you guys, this is so much fun.’ Is that how you feel about racing this truck? “It is how I feel racing in general. The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series is a great stepping ground and a great stepping stone for everybody to go through. It is just so fun to run with these guys. Todd Bodine, Mike Skinner and Ron Hornaday Jr. -- they are all of the heroes of this series. This win here probably means the absolute most, because here in November 2001 I got kicked out of this race track and I wasn’t able to run in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. I probably could have sat on the pole and won the race that weekend, too, so this is pretty bittersweet here.” How was your truck handling at the end of the race, and what were you telling your crew? “I was telling them that when I slow down, I get looser, so I needed to keep going. I almost wrecked there a couple of times. That’s just how loose you need to run these things in this series. We got it a little bit tight there at the end and we had to back it down a little bit. It’s pretty cool to leave here today with the points lead. I know we can’t carry that throughout the year because we aren’t running all the races, but we wish we could.”

TODD BODINE, No. 30 Lumber Liquidators Toyota Tundra, Germain Racing Finished: 2nd Did the weather at the end of the race change the way your truck handled? “Yeah, that was just it. When we were leading there before the last pit stop we were really good. It started getting tight and I told Mike (Hillman Sr., crew chief). Kyle (Busch) got a lot better grip and he was a little free so that helped him out and made us a little worse. After we changed the tires we put some scuffs on and adjusted it to make it a little freer, but the scuffs made it too free. Right at the end there I could actually run times faster than Kyle but every once in a while, I would slip and he would pull back away. It was a great race for the Lumber Liquidators Tundra. First last week and second this week, that is how you win championships. It looks like it’s going to come down to this front five here to win the championship.” Are you pleased with the impressive statement you and your team has made to start this year? “Yeah. We all put our heads together and figured out where we missed it last year. We tried to figure out what things we could improve on this year. We had Mike Hillman Sr. on top of the box this week -- we missed Mike Hillman Jr. -- but we had a great day. The Lumber Liquidators crew did a great job. We just went to work. We tried to figure out what we were missing last year. We have got a pretty good handle on it. I’m not going to say it’s perfect, but we’ve got a good handle on it. The truck was pretty good. The Tundra ran great and it was a good day”

JOHNNY BENSON, No. 23 Toyota Certified Used Vehicles Tundra, Bill Davis Racing Finished: 3rd How were you able to get your Tundra to the front of the pack today? “To tell you the truth, we didn’t do a whole lot. We did a little bit of air pressure and everything was so tight from where we started we couldn’t afford to take too much time on pit road making adjustments. The guys did a heck of a job on the Toyota Certified Used Vehicles Tundra. It was a great day for us to start at the back and I thought we might have had something for them when we got up there. Todd (Bodine) was getting me pretty loose and then I was just hanging on for a little while. We got just two tires there at the end and probably picked up a spot doing that. It was a good day for us.” Do you prefer running this race during the day or night? “The night racing here is definitely different than the day. Although, today was similar to a night race with the clouds and it was cold. I don’t think it was a huge swing of difference, but it is typically different. I think with this week how the weather was it wasn’t a huge difference.”

TERRY COOK, No. 60 Wyler Racing Toyota Tundra, Wyler Racing Finished: 4th How happy are you coming home with a fourth-place finish? “It was a lot of fun. I think this was a career best for me here at Fontana. I think my best before today was sixth and that’s pretty sad because I’ve been in every one of them. When you finally get in this great equipment that the team put underneath me today – we knew we were pretty good since we unloaded. We were just a little bit off in the short run when the field got away from us and it was hard to pass. Once the field got spread out again, I could pick and choose and work the outside line like I needed to. Then, we could march our way back through the field and we were turning some of the fastest lap times of the race. I’m proud of our guys – great pit stops and a well prepared truck.” Did yesterday’s rain affect the track conditions of today’s race? “The track was about the same as it was Thursday (during practice). I truly enjoy racing here during the daytime because it’s very predictable. When we practice during the day and race during the day it’s typical. When we practice during the day and race at night it’s a crap shoot with what the track’s going to do. It was very predictable today. The track had a fair amount of grip for California Speedway. When you’re trying to run these things wide- open with this restrictor plate program that we’re running in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and you figure you can run wide-open – you start looking around for spots to pick up. It’s fun.”

MIKE SKINNER, No. 5 Toyota Tundra, Bill Davis Racing Finished: 8th What happened at the beginning of the race? “We got a heck of a start and the truck was really good -- we could run wide open in turns one and two. When I dove off into turn three, the truck lost a cylinder. It just went downhill from there. Then, apparently a piece of debris hit the nose and the piece was flopping up on the straight-away and killing the thing so the motor never ran right the rest of the day. The team was able to fix the plug wire so there wasn't anything wrong with the motor, it was an aero thing, but we didn't see that to be able to know that. But the motor was fine and then whatever we hit just killed it.” How was the truck after you got the problem corrected? “We got back up in the top-five, but we started out with the right-front tire too low. Jeff (Hensley, crew chief) and I learned a lot about this tire today. The last time we took four tires, he was only going to take two, but I flat-spotted the tires coming in so I screamed for them to get four tires. The team was heads-up and did a great job, we had a good pit stop. It cost us because if I hadn't of slid the tires coming in then I probably could have finished a little higher. I bought him a little time getting in, but I got in hot and slid the tires. But I knew if we went back out with the tires like that then we would end up having to come back in and then we would have ended up 25th. The team did a heads-up job and Jeff did a heads-up job. We took a (crappy) day and turned it into a top-10 and that's what we have to do every week.”

MIKE SKINNER, cont’d How was the new truck package today? “We have to work on the package some, but I really praise NASCAR for making the changes to the trucks and trying to make it better. At the end of the day, they'll make whatever adjustments they need to and they'll make sure that this Craftsman Truck Series continues to be the most exciting racing and it really, truly is. If they get a little bored, then I'm sure they'll fix it and they won’t be bored for long. My hat’s off to them.”
