Tayler Malsam, the #19 G-OIL Toyota and TriStar Motorsports teamed to make NASCAR history at the DRIVE4COPD 300, the opening race of the 2012 NASCAR Nationwide Series.

Malsam parlayed a disciplined race strategy, some deft accident avoidance maneuvers, and great pit work by his Eddie Pardue led TriStar Toyota crew to claim a sixth place finish in the biggest race of the 33 race Nationwide season.

The event marked the first time that bio-based engine oil has been used in NASCAR competition. The G-Oil -Tri Star-Toyota teams combined to be the top Toyota in qualifying and lead laps (#44 Mike Bliss) and be the top finishing Toyota with Malsam’s sixth place in the 300 mile, 120-lap event.

“Daytona was a great kick-off for G-OIL,” said Jeffrey Loch, President, and CMO of G-OIL parent company Green Earth Technologies, Inc. “We have won races and a championship in American Le Mans Series, and we came here to prove that our bio-based full synthetic G-Oil can perform in NASCAR engines and competition,” said Loch.

 “We exceeded our expectations,” said TriStar general manager Rick  Carpenter. “We are a small team and having the fastest Toyota in qualifying; leading the race and having Tayler bring the G-Oil car home sixth and be the highest finishing Toyota in the race in our very first race together is a tribute to everyone involved. We leave here with Tayler and the G-OIL Toyota carrying some extra momentum heading to Phoenix next week.
