| What do people think about Toyota Tundra ? |
| I have been notified by the Toyota dealer that my exhaust manifolds are leaking. I have 31500 mi on the truck and purchased it Dec 1999. They tell me they will pay for the parts to replace the manifold but not the labor. I think this is Toyota problem and they should cover the complete expense.... |

Bill Davis Racing Quotes:
Mike Skinner on racing at Memphis Motorsports Park:
The No. 5 Toyota Tundra team struggled with communication early in the season. I do not understand why, because at the end of last year we were really running well and were a threat to win races week in and week out. Somewhere over the winter we forgot how to communicate, and now we have that back. [Crew chief] Jeff Hensley is doing a phenomenal job on the pit box. The combination of me not making mistakes and Jeff having the confidence to know the he is the man gives this team a boost. It is an honor to drive this truck for these guys every week. It is such a shame we havent won this season because at in least at three of the last five races, the No. 5 truck has been the one to beat. We are just going to keep clicking and hope we can get Bill and Gail Davis another win for their trophy case.

We have really struggled at Memphis, and I do not know why. It is the type of racetrack I like. We have had some issues there, and I do not know what we have to do to fix them. We are taking a truck that has the same set-up that it had when we won the race at Richmond last fall. Jeff and I have not had that much opportunity to work together at Memphis, but I think with time we will get our Tundra back on track there.
