2010 Toyota Gibbs NASCAR

No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota had 36 2010 starts with 3 wins, 10 top fives, 18 top 10s, 2 poles and finished 8th in points with Dave Rogers as its Crew Chief.  The high points of the season included Busch’s weekend sweep at Bristol in August and it was the first weekend someone had won a race in each of NASCAR’s top three divisions at the same track leading the most laps in each.  Just like Hamlin, Kyle started the season slowly, taking five races to score his first top 10 (ninth, Bristol). But after his teammate’s Martinsville win, it was Busch who went on what was probably his most torrid spell of the season, finishing eighth at Phoenix, third at Texas, then ninth at Talladega while a seventh-place finish at Darlington sandwiched two dominating wins at Richmond and Dover.  This Toyota was built for road course use and features a Red Bull Racing chassis. Power is provided by a 358ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission and finished in the Kyle Busch M&M livery.
