The pace car was a Toyota Camry during the Busch race and there was an obscene amount of Toyota Signage around the track? They are definitely coming, question is when and with who??
 
1. How about never.
2. Maybe Kurt will wait for them.

From Jayski's.......

No Toyota in 2006: Over the past several months, Toyota Racing Development had quietly built a race car that eventually was submitted for the mandatory approval process that would allow it to be entered into the NASCAR Busch Series beginning in 2006. For reasons known only to them, TRD officials would never acknowledge the existence of the car even though it had gone through the initial stages of the approval process (fitting the car to the templates). Next up for Toyota was an on-track test at Atlanta Motor Speedway, similar to what Ford and Chevrolet recently underwent when submitting their new models for the 2006 season. But just three weeks ago, prior to the first scheduled on-track test, Toyota officials notified NASCAR that they were pulling the plug on the process. Speculation centered on Toyota and NASCAR officials allegedly being at odds and not seeing eye-to-eye on the car and its engine. "Not so," said a NASCAR official. "There was never a problem with the car. They just notified us that they were pulling the plug and ending the process – for now." Despite confirmation from those in the garage, Toyota officials still won't acknowledge the existence of the car. Instead, they maintain that their goals have not changed since earlier in the year.(Yahoo Sports)(8-13-2005)

No one specified 2006.

It's a pretty good bet that in '07 Toyota will arrive. With Penske. With Busch as the nameplates premier driver.
 
Toyota is the official vehicle of Watkins Glen and it probably has more to do with the IRL running a race their later this year.
 
it is ok with me if toyota is in nascar cause if it is then it will mean that chevy will do even better
 
I think 2007 they will finally hit Cup with Michael Waltrip Robby Gordon and my wildshot probably won't happen but you never know guess is that they throw a ton of money at someone like Kevin Harvick.
 
I really dont think Robby would go to Toyota, but if he does i might have to find someone else to root for, i have not liked the idea of Toyota in NASCAR since the 1st time i heard about it.

I think they landed their BIG name already when Kurt signed with Roger. :growl:
Bill Davis racing will be part of the Toyota Racing, for intents and purpous he already is.

If Toyota runs their Cup program like they run their Truck deal, a small independent team would be foolish to turn them down. JMHO
