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.

Since Kremer's Porsche 935's were the number one adversary for the Porsche works 935's in the FIA Group 5 era in both FIA World Championship and the Deutsche Rennsport, it was natural for them to take this  very good promotion to the streets.  Customizing by Kremer included everything from engine, suspension, to the well-known body kits both functional and race-inspired.

 

After winning the 1979 Le Mans race with a 935 Kremer K3, the demand for similar performance for street use was growing. Bodywork for this slant nose was designed by DP Motorsport and a very similar conversion was soon also available through his own company. Engine output from its 3 liter flat six turbocharged engine was 370 hp.

I was at the dump and found an old cast aluminum grill. I hung it up in my garage and it remained there for about 32 years until I decided to build a race car and started with the grill I found and worked backwards”.  The car started with the 1930 Model A onto which a late model Ford rear end was installed together with a Mustang front end.  The drive train was replaced with a 1950 Ford flat head tri-power 4 cylinder with headers and glass pack mufflers and a three-speed gearbox.  The wheels were converted to 50’s styled Ford rims with white wall radial tires and baby moon caps.  Atop the frame, a body frame was constructed and covered with a modified aluminum aircraft drop.  Seating was replaced with an aluminum bomber cockpit seat and four-point racing seat belts.  The car made its maiden Salt Flats run in 2017 where the conditions were not ideal but still the Bomb clocked a  96 mph.
