The Nascar Experience

In July of 2010 Kyle Busch made an appearance at Toyota of Scranton. The Toyota of Scranton In-Field Experience which took place from Thursday July 29th, through Saturday July 3,1 2010. Open to fans of all ages, this massive three-day event featured a meet and greet with NASCAR superstar Kyle Busch on Thursday July 29th, NASCAR race simulators, NASCAR vehicle displays including the #18 Snickers Toyota Camry and the #18 Interstate Toyota Tundra, food, entertainment and more.

 

The event kicked off with a press conference with Busch taking questions from media and fans and was on hand to sign autographs for a crowd of over 1200 Nascar fans.
 
  As an additional segment of the partnership with Kyle Busch, Toyota of Scranton sponsored the No. 18 Toyota Tundra for Kyle Busch Motorsports in last years inaugural Camping World Truck Series race at Pocono Raceway. Kasey Kahne piloted the No. 18 truck in the Pocono Mountains 125 to a second place finish while Busch competed later that day in the Nationwide Series event at Iowa Speedway. The No. 18 Toyota Tundra featured the Toyota of Scranton logo on the hood and side panels as part of the sponsorship agreement.
 

The inaugural race at Pocono Raceway for the Camping World Truck Series began before a crowd of over 40,000 race fans, with Elliot Sadler (#2 GT Vodka Chevy) and Kasey Kahne (#18 Toyota of Scranton Toyota Tundra Toyota) on the front row. Early in the race, Sadler and Kahne battled over the race lead, but eventually Todd Bodine (#30 Germain Toyota) and Austin Dillon (#3 Bass Pro Shops Chevy) would emerge as contenders. Late in the running, though, Dillon would make contact with Bodine in turn 2, causing Bodine to spin and bring out the caution. On the ensuing restart, drivers were beginning to push the envelope and get after it with only 7 laps to go. This would lead to trucks going 4 and even 5 wide, leading to another wreck involving Ron Hornaday (#33 Ollie's Bargain Outlet Chevy) and Austin Dillon. This would lead to a green-white-checkered finish between Kahne and Salder, giving Salder his first victory in the Camping World Truck Series.
