Tiger woods is a bit of a stretch just yet. Kyle was always a good
driver. That's why he's in Nascar. Driving Quality cars at JGR &
hendricks helps put even crappy drivers like Mears in a winners circle.
The fact he is hot in 3 different series is shows this is not a fluke.
The new car does help things. Toyota realy built their program arround
the COT. The lumps they got last year wasa used as data to improve the
car. All the Toyota teams are better than 2007.
