Toyota goes NASCAR

Quote:

CHICAGO -- Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A. announced today at the Chicago Auto Show its historic plans to begin participation in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series in 2004.

Toyota Tundra Trucks will make their racing debut at Daytona International Speedway in February 2004.

Toyota has assembled the full-size Toyota Tundra exclusively at its Princeton, Ind., plant since its debut in 1999.

"Everyone at NASCAR is looking forward to Toyota's participation in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series," said Mike Helton, president of NASCAR. "We feel their integrated approach to this Series is going to provide our drivers, teams, tracks and fans many benefits.

"There are many NASCAR fans working in Toyota facilities, manufacturing plants and dealerships throughout America. We know they're thrilled at the prospect of a Toyota Tundra showing up in NASCAR Victory Lane in 2004."

Beginning with the 2004 season-opening NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Daytona, as many as six Toyota Tundra race trucks may be entered for competition.

Team affiliations will not be determined until a later date.

Toyota Racing Development (TRD), U.S.A. will design, develop, and build the Craftsman Truck Tundra V8 to NASCAR specifications in its Costa Mesa, Calif., facility

NASCAR chairman of the board Bill France Jr. unofficially predicted a Toyota in Winston Cup racing by as early as 2007.

"You're trying to read my mail and I'm not going to let you," France said in reply to a question about when he anticipated Toyota's move to Winston Cup. "You know better than to ask a question like that, three years in advance."

Whoops. If Toyota previewed its 2004 entrance into the Truck Series Thursday, that would put a Toyota -- which the head of Toyota Racing Development predicted would be a Camry -- into Winston Cup in 2007.

France spoke after a media gathering to present the 2004-spec Toyota Tundra NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series entry, at Daytona International Speedway.

"I think it'll play good," France said, citing the current 'world economy.' "Ford has a presence in Europe and General Motors has equity both in the Asian and European markets."

He refused, however, to be drawn into any speculation on whether manufacturers such as Honda, Mazda or BMW would consider an entrée into the premier stock car series.

"I don't think I've seen a Honda truck yet," France said.

Nascar is in Amerika veruit de populairste autosport dus het is logisch dat merken als Toyota en Honda daar actief willen zijn.

Mwaoh, de Amerikaanse Nascar-fans hebben gesproken via een poll op de site van Nascar. Erg vriendelijk zijn ze niet :D

Nearly half of a 110,000-strong sample of NASCAR fans are against Toyota's decision to race in the Nextel Cup, according to a vote on the sport's official website.

In 2007 zal een van de Toyota teams in de kleuren rijden van Red Bull. Dat moet na Philip Morris zowat de grootste sponsor in de racerij zijn.
