Eighteen-year-old Harrison Burton recorded a 10th-place finish in his Xfinity Series debut on Saturday in a Joe Gibbs Racing Supra. In Saturday's NASCAR K&N Pro Series East race at Bristol, five Toyota drivers finished in the top-10 with Camry driver Chase Cabre recording a runner-up result. NHRA Reigning Funny Car world champion J.R. Todd drove his DHL Toyota Camry to his first win of the season in Sunday's NHRA Four-Wide Nationals. The triumph is Todd's third consecutive win at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway after sweeping both events in 2018. 'It seems like these DHL Toyota Camrys always run well here,' said Todd, after securing the sixth win for a Kalitta Camry in the last 11 Las Vegas events. 'The whole team has a really good handle on this place, especially my crew chiefs Todd Smith and Jon Oberhofer. It seems like the more we come here, the better grip they get on this place. We struggled early this year with cold tracks and shaking the tires. I knew that it was eventually going to warm up, and sure enough, it was hot and nasty here today.' In Top Fuel, Doug Kalitta advanced to the final round and continues to sit on top of the point standings after four races. USAC Toyota driver Kevin Thomas Jr. won Saturday's USAC National Midget Series' Kokomo Grand Prix at the Kokomo Speedway. The win marked the 10th national midget feature win for a Toyota-powered driver in 2019. FORMULA DRIFT Corolla Hatchback driver Fredric Aasbø advanced to the final four and finished fourth in Saturday's season-opening Formula DRIFT event on the Streets of Long Beach. After Aasbø advanced to the final four, he had a spark plug issue that ended his chase run early. Ryan Tuerck qualified seventh, but was involved in a practice accident prior to the Round of 32 and did not participate in Saturday's round at Long Beach due to damage to his Toyota 86. What's Next NASCAR heads to Richmond Raceway for the Toyota Owners race weekend. The ToyotaCare 250 NXS race is on Friday, April 12 at 7 p.m. EDT on FS1, and the Toyota Owners 400 MENCS race takes place on Saturday, April 13 at 7:30 p.m. EDT on FOX. NHRA travels to Houston to compete in the Spring Nationals at Houston Raceway Park with coverage beginning on Sunday, April 14 at 3:00 p.m. EDT on FOX. The ARCA Racing Series will also race this weekend at Indiana's Salem Speedway on Sunday, April 14 at 2:00 p.m. EDT.
