Sunday's Top 10

1. Toyota- 40 races into Toyota's NASCAR career and they have finally entered victory lane. This makes them the first foreign name manufacture to win in the top series since 1954, when Jaguar claimed a victory. They also have 3 drivers in the top 10, last years top Toyota finisher was Dave Blaney in 31st.

2. Kyle Busch- Rowdy has been on fire this year and was finally able to close the deal in Atlanta. He is first in the standings 73 points ahead of Greg Biffle and he has led the most laps this year with 329 to second place's 183.

3. Bobby Labonte- He had a 12th place run and managed to finish on the lead lap, a major accomplishment considering most of the field didn't. Labonte is just outside of the top 12 (cutoff for the chase) and has been running very strong so far this year. He even managed to pick up 5 bonus points for leading a lap.

4. Brian Vickers- After finishing last year outside of the top 35 he is now 9th in the standings, what a difference a year makes. He also picked up his first top 10 performance of the year. The most amazing thing, he is doing all this with basically no real teammate (the 84 has made one race).

5. Tony Stewart- He starts 32nd and drives up to 2nd place on what he called the worst tires he has ever drove on. He losses some points on the over-exaggeration of the tires, but he can drive.

6. Matt Kenseth- He starts towards the back of the field due to car troubles and races his way into a top 10 finish.

7. Dale Jr- That car was unstoppable during the first portion of the race, it was terrible during the middle of the race (he was getting sideways on the straightaway), and it was good enough to get a 3rd place finish in the end. He was up and down, but he kept himself in contention when it was bad. If not for getting caught up in the Casey Mears wreck in Fontana he would likely be 2nd in the standings.

8. Gregg Biffle- Made a mistake towards the end, but he had a great car that was capable of winning. Still he finished 4th and is 2nd in the season standings, he has been great so far.

9. Nascar- This was the highest rated Atlanta race over the last 5 years and a 19% gain from last year. It is also more than likely going to beat ABC/NBC/CBS for the time slot.

10. Dale Jarrett- He finished 26th which was amazing considering how bad he looked in qualifying, but this is more of a nod of appreciation to Dale as this was his second to last race before retirement.
