Toyota Nascar Pit Stop In Times Square New York City

This might be the coolest Nascar gimick I’ve ever seen:

Tundra Racing – The Nascar Craftsman Truck Series

The NASCAR Craftsman Truck series is notable not only for the high level of professional racing that can be found at each event, but for the fact that it is the first major NASCAR series to have active participation from a foreign automaker. In 2004 Toyota decided to make a big splash in NASCAR by announcing full factory support for a number of Craftsman Truck teams. The company had always played a major role in motorsports worldwide, with a long history in CART, IMA and NHRA import drag racing, but NASCAR had always been regarded as a ‘domestics-only’ club. After trying things out in the Goody’ Dash series for a number of years, Toyota felt it was time to take the plunge and move up to the big leagues.

Toyota got serious about racing trucks in 2004 when they officially entered the Nascar Craftsman Truck Series (TM).
