There is no such thing as“ A Sure Thing” but William may be as close as it gets in NASCAR’ s Camping World Truck Series.
William has demonstrated maturity and poise beyond his 19 years. His ability to adjust his driving style throughout a run to get the best from his Toyota Tundra.
Backing Byron’ s talent is the truck series juggernaut, Kyle Bush Motorsports. This team seems to win at will regardless if it is William, Erik Jones or the boss, Kyle Bush at the wheel.
William Byron is Toyota’ s best shot at NASCAR gold this year.
What can we say about the outsiders from Colorado that hasn’ t already been said. The little team that could, is now teamed up with possibly the most dominant team in NASCAR for 2016.
Joe Gibbs Racing brings a wealth of support and resources to Martin this year.
The only reason that we have William Byron listed as Toyota’ s best chance is the level of competition Martin faces in the Sprint Cup Series.
This will be Martin’ s best chance ever at taking it all.
Daniel is the long shot of this trio and, many would pick Erik Jones but, this native of Monterrey, Mexico has 21 top-ten finishes this year, which edges out Erik’ s 16. While Erik has more wins, Daniel seems to be on an upward momentum curve that could mean the difference between individual victories and a championship.
Like Truex, and Jones for that matter, Suarez benefits from the Joe Gibbs organization.
Daniel needs to get by Elliot Sadler which will be a huge challenge.
Toyota’ s best chance of grabbing all the gold rest in the hands of these three drivers
