Who will give Toyota their first win?

As I sit here in front of the television watching NACAR practice, I am starting to think that Toyota may have a great season. Toyota will get their first win, and that win may just come in the Daytona 500.
Right now in practice, 3 of the top 5 cars are Toyotas. And two of top three Toyotas are from the team that will give Toyota their first win. Tony Stewart is fastest and Denny Hamlin is third. I know these practices don't mean much but it shows a little.
Toyota teaming with Joe Gibbs is the best move they have made since coming to NASCAR. Gibbs has great drivers that know how to win. They also have loyal fans that will support their favorite driver no matter what kind of car they drive.
Lets start with Tony Stewart, the driver who has the best chance of giving Toyota its win in the 500. Tony is a very aggressive driver, but at the same time knows how to get the job done at any track, especially Daytona. In 2005 and 2006 Stewart had five wins and in 2007 he won three. Tony could win a race in my grandmas Buick Skylark.
Next is Denny Hamlin. In his three years in the Sprint Cup Series Hamlin has three wins, 20 top fives and 41 top 10's. He will have a good season and will give Toyota at least one win.
Next for Gibbs is new-comer Kyle Busch. In four seasons he has four wins, 30 top fives and 51 top 10's. This young, talented and very aggressive driver also knows how to get it done on the track.
I think the Gibbs team will get at post at least four wins for Toyota this year. Toyota should have came in NASCAR with a good team like Gibbs instead of putting all their time and money into new teams without the credentials.
