Just now, during the Daytona 500 a Toyota took the lead. They made the comment that the last foreign manufacturer led a NASCAR race was MG in 1962 in Winston Salem.

Mike put a call out on all the MG forums last year for information about this, so he could mention it on his telecast. He did, and this year he expanded on it.
