Two Toyotas In Top-10 Saturday Night in South Carolina

Two Toyota Tundras placed among the top-10, and five Tundra drivers finished among the top-20, in the penultimate race of the 2004 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season at Darlington Raceway Saturday night.

                        

    

In the first-ever night race at the historic South Carolina track -- an event which was rescheduled to Saturday from Friday evening due to rain -- Tundra drivers Johnny Benson and Robert Huffman registered top-10 finishes. Benson guided his No. 23 Bill Davis Racing Tundra to a sixth-place finish and Huffman drove his No. 12 Innovative Motorsports Tundra to a ninth-place result.

"The night started out pretty rough because the truck was just too loose," said Benson, who recorded his eighth top-10 finish in 12 races driving the No. 23 Tundra. "We also got lucky because we had a flat tire, but it happened during a caution period and we were able to change it without losing a lap. We made adjustments all night and my Tundra just kept getting better and better. Overall, we came out of the race pretty good."

"We had a really good run," said Huffman, the first rookie to cross the finish line. "People told me you have to race the track here, and I tried to do that all night long. I tried to get around people, without getting into trouble. The last set of tires made my Tundra a little too tight. If we had a better set for the last stop, I think we might have finished higher."

Todd Bodine, driver of the No. 30 Germain/Arnold Racing Tundra, was running in third-place near the end of the race when contact with another truck spun him out and relegated him to 20th-place. "Early in the race, I got into Hank (Parker Jr.) and Shane (Hmiel) when they got together," said Bodine, following the race. "I tried to slow down, but I just couldn't, and that really messed our truck up. It wasn't the same aerodynamically after that, although my guys did a good job putting it back together -- and putting a new nose on it. We were able to come right back and get up front again. But, I wore my tires out getting to the front."

Bill Lester (16th), Travis Kvapil (19th), Mike Skinner (23rd), David Reutimann (28th) and Hank Parker Jr. (35th) were the other Tundra drivers in the Darlington field.

After 24 2004 races, three Toyota drivers sit among the top-15 in the NCTS championship point standings. Kvapil is seventh in the point standings with 3,046 points and Skinner is 12th (2,887 points) in the standings. David Reutimann is 15th (2,744 points) in the standings and also continues to top the Rookie-of-the-Year standings.

The final NCTS race of the season is Friday, November 19, at Miami-Homestead Speedway, beginning at 3:30 PM (EST). SPEED Channel will provide live television coverage of the race.
