TOYOTA NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series (NCTS) Race Notes & Quotes Atlanta Motor Speedway -- March 7, 2008

Kyle Busch's victory in Friday's NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series (NCTS) race at Atlanta Motor Speedway is the 41st win for Toyota in the series since the start of the 2004 season (103 races). Busch led five times for 39 laps for his eighth-career NCTS win (second in a Toyota) in 39 series starts. Busch has three victories in five NCTS races at the 1.5-mile Georgia oval. Mike Skinner (third), Ted Musgrave (seventh), Terry Cook (eighth) and Todd Bodine (ninth) also scored top-10 finishes for Toyota. Other Tundra drivers in the field included Justin Marks (14th), Phillip McGilton (16th), David Starr (21st) and Johnny Benson (30th)

KYLE BUSCH, No. 51 Miccosukee Resorts Toyota Tundra, Billy Ballew Motorsports Finished: 1st How surprised that you were the only one on pit road when the caution fell with 18 laps to go? "I was surprised that nobody followed me, and Ron (Hornaday) didn't come down. Normally, you do what the leader does, but I think Richie (Waters, crew chief) made a great call coming down pit road for those four tires. I have to thank Miccosukee for coming on board this week. We're trying to get Billy Ballew a major sponsor -- so if you really want to help out, we'll take it. The guys on pit road did a great job tonight. We had the hood up on the truck. We had the track bar down eight rounds. We had four rounds in the left rear. I don't even know what else we did." Can you talk about the children you had watching you tonight? "The Kyle Busch Foundation and M&Ms donated tickets to tonight's race to some kids so they could come out and watch us race. I'm glad we were able to win it for them. I dedicate it to them. They were a lot of fun to hang out with on Thursday, when we were able to visit and hang out with them. That is what makes it happen for me." How were you able to get the truck to stick down on the apron for a few of your moves? "There were a couple of apron shots, but you have to go where they're not. I went down there and it stuck. I tried to make a move on the apron in turn three, but that was a little stupid. I'm glad the 6 truck (Colin Braun) ended up being all right. I'm not sure if he had problems or not, but all of a sudden I just had nowhere to go. I either was going to run into the back of him or go low, so I tried going low but edged up on him a little bit and turn him sideways."

MIKE SKINNER, No. 5 Toyota Tundra, Bill Davis Racing Finished: 3rd How much did you have to work on the truck to get the finish you did? "It was an eventful race. The truck drove really bad in qualifying. We started pretty far back, for this team. We just weren't that good. Our truck was a bottom-feeder -- it couldn't run up high at all. Whenever I got around other trucks, we were just aerodynamically off. This is the first time we ran this truck. AJ (Allmendinger) actually drove this truck in Loudon (N.H.) a year ago. We brought it back from the dead and tested it here -- and thought it was pretty good. When he (Kyle Busch) came down pit road -- I said that just won him the race right there. We didn't have radar in our pits, but I bet we have radar next time."

TED MUSGRAVE, No. 59 Team ASE/Harris Trucking Toyota Tundra, HT Motorsports Finished: 7th

TERRY COOK, No. 60 Wyler Racing Toyota Tundra, Wyler Racing Finished: 8th

TODD BODINE, No. 30 Lumber Liquidators Toyota Tundra, Germain Racing Finished: 9th

JUSTIN MARKS, No. 9 Crocs Toyota Tundra, Germain Racing Finished: 14th

PHILLIP McGILTON, No. 22 3Wide Life Toyota Tundra, Bill Davis Racing Finished: 16th

DAVID STARR, No. 11 Red Horse Racing Toyota Tundra, Red Horse Racing Finished: 21st

JOHNNY BENSON, No. 23 Toyota Certified Used Vehicles Tundra, Bill Davis Racing Finished: 30th
