His next race, Daytona 500, was also a success. Busch won the pole position at the Duel. He was the first to start on the front row. He was then second after a stop-and go penalty. Busch finished third at Daytona 500.
Pit strategy for Toyota Nascar drivers
Toyota is now co-ordinating the pit strategy and all drivers. When the green flag is raised, three manufacturers will coordinate pit stops and each manufacturer will take turns pitting their car. The Toyota cars were separated in pit stops last year which resulted in them losing track position and the chance to win. It is not an ideal solution. Although manufacturers will still need to split pit crews into different sections, the new choreography will make it faster and more efficient for them.

FAQ
Which car racing has the most spectators?
The Indianapolis 500 Mile Race has become one of America's most popular spectator events. More than 400,000 fans watch it every year.
It will be held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 30th and 31, respectively.
What's the length of a race?
Different types of races have different lengths.
You can take part in endurance races for many days.
Other races are shorter such as sprint races.
What is a pitstop?
Pit stop is when you pull over and let another driver drive. It is also called a pitlane.
What types of cars are used in racing car?
Speed is the most important thing to any race car driver. It's what makes them move fast. They must be fast enough to catch up with other drivers, but strong enough to keep the lead. This gives them an advantage as they can catch up to other racers at high speeds and then pull away again from them when they're not looking.
Lightweight cars are often the fastest. They can accelerate quickly and achieve a high speed. This also means that they have less power, which restricts how far they are able to travel in a short time. So they need to use energy efficiently.
Engines power most modern-day racing cars. These engines are identical to those used in passenger vehicles. These engines run on compressed oxygen, and not petrol. Because petrol is not powerful enough to give a car enough power to go fast, this is why these engines use compressed air.
