Toyota Motorsports announced on Saturday that it would field four cars among three teams next season in the NASCAR Busch Series.
Dave Blaney, who recently scored his first series win at Lowe's Motor Speedway, will run the full schedule with Braun Racing and will join Jason Leffler to make up Toyota's only two-car team in the series.
Like Blaney, David Reutimann will run both the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup and Busch Series schedules in 2007. Reutimann will drive the No. 00 Burger King/Domino's Pizza Toyota in the Cup Series along with the No. 99 Aaron's Dream Machine in the Busch Series.
"I was really excited to be a part of Toyota's entry into the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and now I have another opportunity to be on the ground floor with the NASCAR Busch Series program," Reutimann said. "Toyota has been building some good horsepower in the trucks and we are getting engineering support. I think that will carry over. It will be a real good match."
Biagi DenBeste Racing is the final team that will be switching to Toyotas in 2007 with Auggie Vidovich, the 2003 NASCAR Elite Division, Featherlite Southwest Series Champion, staying on to pilot the No. 4.
"I learned a lot about Toyota after I won the (Toyota) All-Star Showdown last year. I got the keys to a Toyota Tundra for winning the race and it has been a great truck to drive. It is no wonder they race so well in the Truck Series. I know they build great cars too and I can’t wait to race a Toyota," Vidovich said.
