Denny Hamlin, Tony Stewart and Kyle Busch rock in their Toyota's!

I don't want to get too ahead of myself. After all, its just been a couple of races, but the Joe Gibbs boys in their Toyota's are showing they will be a force to be reckoned with.

Denny Hamlin won the 2nd Gatorade Dual Friday and Smoke took first with Kyle Busch right behind him this afternoon in the Nationwide (formerly Busch) series race at Daytona.

I know, I know, tomorrow will show - and tell - a whole lot more. But at the end of 2007 season, I did predict  that Gibbs and Toyota would dominate.

Let's hope I'm right. I would  hate to run around town with egg on my face.

Speaking of running around town, I have a new column in the Advocate called FULL THROTTLE, which runs the first and third Tuesday of each month.

Our goal is to bring lots of  info on local motor sports to our readers - dirt, asphalt, mud, whatever. I'd like to hear from riders, drivers, pit crew members, fans and anyone who wants to talk racing. E-mail me at sprenzler@vicad.com or call me at 361-580-6518.
