    Toyota Looking for Fourth-Straight Win in NASCAR Playoffs, Rally in Arizona

    Toyota Looking for Fourth-Straight Win in NASCAR Playoffs, Rally in Arizona October 06, 2017 NASCAR With the NASCAR Playoffs rounding into form, the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR XFINITY Series will compete in home races at Charlotte Motor Speedway over the weekend. The Cup Series will begin the second, three-race round of the postseason on the 1.5-mile track on Sunday with Camry drivers Martin Truex Jr. and Kyle Busch leading the standings after sweeping the open round of the Playoffs. Truex, the series points leader, won the Playoff opener in Chicago, while Busch, who ranks second, now has back-to-back wins (New Hampshire and Dover) and momentum coming to Charlotte. “We had a really solid first round,” Busch said. “We added more bonus points in the first round, so hopefully we can have a good, solid next three races and keep advancing. Charlotte has always been a good place for me and, with the way we ran there in May (All-Star Race victory), it should give us some confidence going into this weekend.” Following the opening three-race elimination round of the Playoffs, all four Toyota drivers advanced – Truex, Busch, Denny Hamlin (ranked seventh) and Matt Kenseth (11th) – into the field of 12 drivers still vying for the championship. All three OEM’s competing in the Cup Series now have four Playoff entrants remaining. In the NASCAR XFINITY Series (NXS), Matt Tifft ranks seventh as the lone Toyota Camry title contender entering a cutoff race at Charlotte on Saturday.
