Toyota's David Wilson: Bell's Phoenix victory "a momentous win"

Image
Under the current playoff format, a driver needs to either win or run very well at Phoenix, which also requires leading laps. In the last two years – spanning four races – that’s been a scarcity for Toyota. While Chevrolet drivers won both Phoenix races last year and Ford accomplished the same feat in 2022, Toyota drivers totaled just 15 laps led. Then came Sunday, when not only did Toyota pick up the win with a strong performance from Bell and his No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing team, but Toyota drivers collectively led all but 14 of the 312 laps in the race. First win for the XSE It was a monumental shift in performance, which first became evident in practice on Friday and held true in qualifying with an all-Toyota front row. “For Toyota, this was a momentous win,” said Toyota Racing Development president David Wilson. “This was the first win with our new Camry body. I was clear to say at the beginning of the year that we have struggled here recently. “T

Once upon a time, in a bustling city, there was a stray dog named Max. Max had been roaming the streets for as long as he could remember, scavenging for food and seeking shelter wherever he could find it. But as the days grew colder and the nights more unforgiving, Max knew he needed a place to call home. One day, while wandering through the neighborhood, Max stumbled upon a small park where families played and laughter echoed through the air. As he watched from the sidelines, longing for companionship, he caught the eye of a kind-hearted woman named Emily.

How World Leaders Have Reacted to the Deaths of People In Gaza Waiting For an Aid Convoy

The IDF said its troops fired warning shots in a bid to disperse the crowds.  A doctor at a nearby hospital told the AP that more than 80% of the injured victims he treated were struck by gunfire.
