TOYOTA’S HISTORY IN AMERICAN MOTORSPORTS
Now in its 31st year of American professional auto racing, Toyota’s racing history includes a list of diverse and notable accomplishments including numerous
championships and victories in some of the world’s most prestigious events.
In 2012, Toyota participated in a variety of motorsports disciplines, winning races in NASCAR, NHRA, off-road trucks and USAC, while also earning championships
in NHRA and USAC competition.
NOTABLE RACING ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Since 1983, Toyota has worked diligently to become a strong competitor in American motorsports. To its credit, the manufacturer has amassed numerous victories
in professional auto racing including winning the “greatest spectacle in racing”, the 2003 Indianapolis 500 with Gil de Ferran. In addition to multiple victories in the
Daytona 24 Hours and the 12 Hours of Sebring, the Pikes Peak Hill Climb and the Baja 500 and the Baja 1000, Toyota also has earned Manufacturer’s and Driver’s
Championships in the Indy Racing League, NHRA, Grand-Am, CART, IMSA, SCORE, USAC, MTEG, CORR, TORC and LOORRS. To add to the list, Toyota earned five
consecutive NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Manufacturer’s Championships from 2006-2010 and three consecutive NNS Manufacturer’s Championships from
2008-2010.
NASCAR
Sprint Cup Series
In 2006, Toyota announced it would enter the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) beginning in 2007 using the Camry. Sprint Cup teams Bill Davis Racing (BDR),
Red Bull Racing Team (RBRT) and Michael Waltrip Racing (MWR) debuted the Camry in its first NSCS race at Daytona International Speedway in February 2007.
Later that season, BDR’s Dave Blaney won Toyota’s first Sprint Cup Series pole position at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. The biggest news that year came off
the track, though, as Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc., and Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) announced in September that the three-time championship-winning team would
campaign Camrys beginning the following season (2008).
In 2008, Denny Hamlin earned Toyota’s first Sprint Cup Series victory in the non-points paying qualifying race in February and less than a month later Kyle Busch
registered the first regular season NSCS victory at Atlanta. Including Busch’s inaugural triumph, Camry drivers have registered 49 wins in Sprint Cup Series
competition over the past six years, with three separate teams and eight different drivers winning races.
In 2010, Hamlin placed second in the final NSCS standings -- the best overall finish for a Toyota driver since the manufacturer entered the NSCS in 2007.
In 2011, Camry drivers won six races, and Busch and Hamlin were among the 12 drivers that participated in the Chase for the Sprint Cup Series championship playoff.
In 2012, the sixth season of NSCS competition for Toyota, Camry drivers won 10 races. Clint Bowyer, Hamlin and Martin Truex Jr. qualified for the 12-driver Chase for
the Sprint Cup championship playoff with Bowyer finishing second in the final NSCS point standings -- equaling Hamlin’s runner-up result in 2010. Hamlin recorded a
series-best five wins, and Bowyer earned three wins in his first season behind the wheel of a Camry for MWR.
Nationwide Series
Toyota will be returning to the NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) for its seventh season of competition in 2013. Overall, Toyota has been a part of eight NNS
championships with JGR earning the series Owner’s Championship four times (2008-2010, 2012) and Kyle Busch winning the 2009 Driver’s Championship, along with
three consecutive Manufacturer’s Championships (2008-2010).
Toyota entered the NNS in 2007 with two teams, Braun Racing and Michael Waltrip Racing. In July of that year, Braun’s Jason Leffler would make history by earning
the first victory for Camry in NASCAR by winning the NNS race at Lucas Oil Raceway in Indianapolis.
In 2012, Joey Logano earned a series-high nine victories in just 22 races, but was ineligible for the NNS Driver’s Championship since he was a full-time Sprint Cup
driver Series competitor.
Overall, in six seasons of NNS competition, Camry drivers have won 74 races.
2
Camping World Truck Series
Toyota began participating in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) in 2004 with four teams -- Bang Racing, Bill Davis Racing, Innovative Motorsports
and Darrell Waltrip Motorsports.
Travis Kvapil captured Toyota’s first NCWTS victory at Michigan in 2004. Since then, Tundra drivers have won a total of 99 races in the series, including 61 over the
past five seasons (2008-2012), with Kyle Busch winning 24 of those races in just 68 starts. Toyota has won five NCWTS Manufacturer’s Championships (2006-2010),
while drivers Todd Bodine (2006 and 2010) and Johnny Benson (2008) have won Driver’s Championships.
The 2013 season will be the 10th year Toyota will compete in the series.
The Off-Road Championship (TORC)
Toyota competed in its 15th season of off-road racing in 2012. After the demise of the CORR series in 2008, a new professional, televised series was established
for short-course racing – TORC (The Off-Road Championship).
In the PRO 4x4 class, Toyota Tundra drivers won back-to-back championships with Johnny Greaves winning in 2010 and Rick Huseman capturing his first
professional Driver’s Championship in 2009. Greaves earned three wins in 2012, finishing third overall.
In PRO Light, C.J. Greaves debuted in a new PRO 2WD truck in 2012 and won two races, once on the same day his father won in Bark River, and he took his first
podium win. He placed third overall this past season with one win. He also placed fourth in the Pro 2WD class in 2012, with two victories. Jeff Kincaid (Tacoma)
recorded six victories en route to his seventh Driver’s Championship in 2009. Additionally, Toyota took the 2009 Manufacturer’s Championship in this division.
In the Super Buggy class, Toyota-powered driver CJ Greaves (Johnny Greaves’ son) won the championship in both 2010 and 2011. Shawn Morris and Tim Lemons
finished first and second in the championship point standings in 2009.
LOORRS
Rick Huseman completely dominated the 2010 season with 10 wins and 13 podiums in 15 rounds of racing and taking the championship in the process. He started
the 2011 season strong, winning the first 4 rounds and capturing six wins overall, earning 9 podiums in 12 rounds of racing.
Eric Barron debuted a brand-new Pro 4 Unlimited truck in 2012 winning three races in a row in the process. He returns in 2013 with sights on the championship.
USAC Series
Toyota will be entering its eight season of USAC competition in 2013. Since the program’s inception, Toyota-powered drivers have won 71 races in the National
Midget Car Series, Silver Crown and Sprint Car racing. Included among the victories are three consecutive wins in the Turkey Night Grand Prix Midget Car events
from 2010-2012, the Night Before the 500, the Copper World Classic and back-to-back Hoosier Hundreds in 2011-2012.
Toyota-powered drivers also have won three individual driving championships with Jerry Coons Jr. taking the Silver Crown title in 2009 and Nic Faas and Alex Schutte
earning top honors in Western State Midgets in 2008 and 2010. Also in 2010, Kody Swanson became the first Toyota driver to win in all three national classes in the
same season with wins in Midgets, Silver Crown and Sprint cars. In 2011, Toyota rookie Kyle Larson earned AARWBA first-team All-American honors.
This past season, Bryan Clauson also drove Toyota-powered Midget and Silver Crown cars – winning in each – on the way to the USAC National Driver’s Championship,
while Keith Kunz Motorsports earned the Owners championship in Midget competition. Overall, Toyota-powered entries won 14 Midget Car Series races, while placing
2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th in the championship, while Toyota Silver Crown won five events.

NHRA
Toyota expanded into the drag racing arena in 2002 with the first Celica-bodied Funny Car in NHRA competition. Two years later, Jerry Tolliver scored Toyota’s
inaugural Funny Car victory when he took home top honors at the Winternationals at Pomona, in February 2004.
The program has risen to new heights over the past four years as Toyota-sponsored cars have gone to victory circle 64 times, with 56 of those coming in
Top Fuel competition. In 2012, Antron Brown earned six victories on the way to capturing the Top Fuel title – the third consecutive for a Toyota-sponsored entry.
The 2012 season also saw the debut of the new TRD-designed Funny Car with both Cruz Pedregon and Jeff Arend driving the new Toyota Camry to victory circle.
In 2011, Del Worsham won a series-high eight races on the way to the Top Fuel title. In addition, Larry Dixon drove a Toyota-sponsored Top Fueler to the 2010
championship, while Cruz Pedregon won the 2008 Funny Car title in a Toyota Camry Solara Funny Car.
SCCA
The 2012 season saw Steve Forrer - C Sports Racing (CSR) - earn the prestigious title of “National Champion” at the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) Runoffs®
for the third year in a row. Likewise, Jason Byers - Formula Atlantic (FA) - earned his first Championship title. With the two titles, Toyota-powered entries have now
won 55 national championships over the past 25 years.
EARLIER SNAPSHOT/VIEW OF TOYOTA IN AMERICAN MOTORSPORTS
One of Toyota’s first-ever factory-backed professional programs began in 1983, when the manufacturer joined forces with racing legend Dan Gurney and
All American Racers (AAR) to run Celicas in IMSA road racing competition. Toyota earned 24 victories in IMSA GTU and GTO competition from 1983 to 1998,
and became the first Japanese nameplate to win the GTO Manufacturer’s and Driver’s Championships in 1987.
Toyota and AAR moved up the IMSA ladder once again in 1989 to the GTP class, the elite level of American road racing. The factory-backed team captured seven
wins over the 1990 and 1991 seasons, serving notice to the competition that Toyota and its American-built Eagle GTP cars were strong contenders.
The team’s success continued in the early 1990s with victories at the 12 Hours of Sebring (twice), the 24 Hours of Daytona and manufacturer titles in 1992 and 1993.
The team holds the all-time record for consecutive GTP victories with 17, and won 19 of its last 21 races.
In 1983, the same year the relationship with Gurney began, Toyota also joined efforts with Precision Preparation, Inc. (PPI) and team owner Cal Wells III to build
Toyota trucks for off-road and stadium competition. From 1983 to 1994, the Toyota/PPI team dominated the Mickey Thompson Off-Road Stadium Series, earning 11
Manufacturer’s Championships and nine Driver’s Championships with Ivan “Ironman” Stewart and Rod Millen accounting for three each, brother Steve Millen for two
and Robby Gordon for one. Stewart also navigated the team through the desert to garner 27 wins and seven championships in the SCORE Desert Series.
Toyota’s motorsports involvement grew to new heights in 1996 when Toyota entered CART (Champ Car) competition. The manufacturer earned its first victory in
2000 at Milwaukee with Juan Pablo Montoya and went on to win five races that season, followed by six wins in 2001. The program peaked in 2002 as Toyota drivers
dominated the series, finishing one-two in the championship and leading the series in every major category as Cristiano da Matta earned Toyota’s first major openwheel Driver’s Championship. Overall, Toyota-powered Champ Cars won a series-high 21 races over their final three seasons of competition.
In 2003, Toyota moved its open-wheel racing program to the Indy Racing League (IRL) where Scott Dixon won Toyota’s first IndyCar race at Homestead-Miami
Speedway, as well as the series Driver’s Championship that same year. The victory was one of 11 for Toyota as it captured the IRL Manufacturer’s Championship.
Over three seasons, Toyota-powered entries won 16 IndyCar Series races including the 2003 Indianapolis 500 with Gil de Ferran and 22 pole positions.
Collectively, Toyota-powered cars won 37 races and 45 pole positions in open-wheel racing competition from 1999 to 2005. The drivers that campaigned with
Toyota power in open-wheel competition included past champions such as Montoya, Dixon, da Matta, Scott Pruett, Helio Castroneves, Sam Hornish Jr., de Ferran
and Jimmy Vasser.

Another chapter in Toyota’s motorsports history ended with the 2005 season, when Toyota concluded its participation as the title sponsor and sole engine supplier
for the Toyota Atlantic Championship Series. Beginning with the inception of the program in 1989, TRD, U.S.A. (Toyota Racing Development) designed the 1.6L,
4-cylinder, 16-valve, twin-cam engine for the premier open-wheel training ground for some of auto racing’s most promising young drivers. Toyota Atlantic graduates
have won four Indianapolis 500s, one Formula One world championship, five IRL series championships and two CART (Champ Car) crowns. Overall, no less than
17 Toyota Atlantic drivers have gone on to win in either Champ Car or IRL competition.
With the introduction of its V-6 Celica Goody’s Dash program, Toyota made its debut into the NASCAR ranks in 2000. Robert Huffman helped make Toyota a
legitimate contender for the series title by its second season, while placing second in the championship in both 2001 and 2002. In 2003, Huffman broke through
to win the series title and become Toyota’s first-ever NASCAR champion.
With respect to NASCAR in 2004, Toyota expanded its motorsports involvement and became the first new engine manufacturer to compete full-time in one of
NASCAR’s top three levels of competition in more than 50 years, when it entered the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.
Although Toyota race cars and trucks compete in several major series, Toyota’s commitment to motorsports extends to the grassroots level. Through contingency
sponsorship of amateur racing, Toyota embraces the competitive spirit that propels racers from entry levels to professional ranks. To add to the list of racing
accomplishments, over the past 30 years, Toyota amateur racers have garnered 53 SCCA National Championships.

TRD, U.S.A. (TOYOTA RACING DEVELOPMENT) HISTORY
From its humble beginnings as an aftermarket parts distributor and ‘speed shop’ in 1979, to one of the most accomplished and acclaimed engineering companies
in motorsports, it’s been a meteoric and championship-filled story for TRD, U.S.A.
Since its inception in 1979, TRD has developed cutting-edge race engine technology for a wide range of motorsports activities. The unique in-house operation
includes complete engine design, development and assembly, as well as production and development of engine component manufacturing. Additionally, with its
entry into the sport of NASCAR, TRD has grown its vehicle engineering capabilities with a North Carolina-based facility.
TRD engines contributed to five consecutive Manufacturer’s Championships (2006 – 2010) in the Camping World Truck Series and Driver’s Titles with Todd Bodine
(2006 and 2010) and Johnny Benson (2008). Additional Driver’s titles won in 2008 attributable to TRD-built engines included Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas in the
Grand-Am Daytona Prototype Championship, Jerry Coons, Jr. in the USAC Silver Crown Series and Nic Faas in the USAC Western Midget Series – the latter two
becoming the first Toyota-powered drivers ever to win USAC championships.
A TRD-built Lexus engine also made history in 2008 by winning its third consecutive 24 at Daytona with Chip Ganassi Racing. Scott Pruett, Juan Pablo Montoya,
Memo Rojas and Dario Franchitti piloted the Daytona Prototype to victory. With the win, Ganassi became the first team to win three consecutive Rolex 24 races,
while Lexus became just the second manufacturer in history to win three straight titles in the twice-around-the-clock endurance classic.
Within its state-of-the-art facility based in Costa Mesa, Calif., TRD engineers design, develop and produce the V8-powered Toyota Camry engines for the NASCAR
Sprint Cup Series. TRD also provides engines for most Toyota factory-backed U.S. racing efforts including the United States Auto Club (USAC) Silver Crown,
and Midget Car Racing Series. Additionally, TRD formerly prepared the Lexus engines used in the Grand American Rolex Sports Car Series, including the engines
that earned six Daytona Prototype championships.
No longer just an engine “engineering company”, TRD opened its chassis engineering facility in Salisbury, North Carolina in 2008. Over 40 TRD engineers, technicians,
equipment operators, fabricators and administrators support Toyota’s NASCAR teams out of the new facility. Numerous high-tech chassis development tools and
equipment, operated by TRD technicians and engineers, are utilized by Toyota’s NASCAR teams.
In addition, the TRD-designed Toyota Camry Funny Car body debuted in NHRA Nitro competition in 2012, earning two victories in its first season.
Established as a subsidiary of Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), U.S.A., TRD earned its place in motorsports history in 1992 and 1993 as TRD engines powered Dan Gurney’s
All-American Racers to an IMSA GTP record 17 consecutive victories, back-to-back Manufacturer’s and Drivers Titles (Juan Manuel Fangio II) and victories in both
the 1993 24 at Daytona and the 1992 and 1993 Sebring 12 Hours.
After conquering the sports car world, TRD U.S.A., then tackled the challenges of open-wheel racing with Juan Pablo Montoya registering Toyota’s first
Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART) victory behind the wheel of a TRD-powered Indy car at the Milwaukee Mile in June 2000. This significant win was the
first by an American-designed and built engine in 20 years and contributed to the growth and reputation of TRD as a world-class race engine development facility.
In addition to winning CART and IRL Manufacturer’s titles in 2002 and 2003, TRD’s open-wheel reign was highlighted by Gil de Ferran’s win in the 2003 Indianapolis 500.
In partnership, TMS and TRD have earned other illustrious accomplishments in American racing history, including four 24 at Daytona victories, numerous Baja 500
and 1000 wins and Manufacturer’s Championships in NNS and NCWTS, as well as IRL, CART, IMSA, Grand-Am, MTEG, SCORE, CORR, WSORR, TORC and
LOORRS competition.
From its original assignment in the U.S. to serve as an aftermarket performance parts distributor for TRD Japan, TRD, U.S.A., has since established itself as a
world-class race engineering organization and grown to employ more than 225 highly skilled designers, engineers, engine builders, technicians, executives and
administrative professionals.

SPONSORSHIPS
Sponsorships continue to be a vital component of auto racing and showcase a diverse product line-up for Toyota.
“The current economic climate continues to challenge us to maintain efficiencies in our expenditures,” said Les Unger, Toyota national motorsports manager.
“We continue to selectively invest in entitlements that provide us the opportunity to increase exposure for the Toyota brand.”
Toyota’s list of motorsports sponsorships will expand somewhat in 2013.
“We’ve long sponsored successful events in major markets in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Last year, we were able to expand into NHRA sponsorship in New
Jersey and this year we’ll add a pair of events in Richmond,” said Unger. “One thing remains constant, and that’s each of these tracks offer up a great history and
dedicated fan-base.”
New for 2013 is a pair of NASCAR events at the Richmond International Raceway, the Toyota Owners 400 Sprint Cup race and the ToyotaCare 250 Nationwide Series
event on April 26-27.
In addition, Toyota continues as the title sponsor for one of open-wheel racing’s signature events in Long Beach, Calif. (the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach),
the NASCAR event in Sonoma, Calif. (the Toyota/Save Mart 350) and for the second year, the NHRA Toyota SuperNationals in Englishtown, N.J.
The manufacturer also serves as the Official Vehicle of Charlotte Motor Speedway, New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Sonoma Raceway, Watkins Glen International,
Kansas Speedway, Chicagoland Speedway, Richmond International Raceway and Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif., and the Willow Springs Raceway in
Rosamond, Calif., as well as the Official Truck of the AMA Supercross Series.
“Official vehicle sponsorships provide us with a cost-effective opportunity to work hand-in-hand with our local dealerships to provide product displays at highly
attended sports venues,” says Unger. “While we predominantly use Camrys as the pace cars and Tundras for driver introduction parade laps, our “at-track vehicle”
displays allow us to highlight our entire product line-up featuring our newly designed Avalon and the ever expanding Prius family including the Prius V, Prius C,
and Prius Plug-in.”
In terms of event sponsorship, the spotlight remains focused on “The Roar On The Shore” — the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach, where the company will celebrate
its 39th year of involvement in 2013 and feature the fifth appearance of the IZOD IndyCar Series.
Dating back to the event’s inaugural running in 1975, where Toyota served as the pace car at the first event, the automaker’s presence in Long Beach continues to
include the event’s title sponsorship since 1980 and the popular 37th annual Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race featuring the all new Scion FR-S.
The glitz and glamour of Hollywood with the signature Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race regularly attracts some of the biggest names in film, television, music, fashion and
sports. The race has raised more than $2 million for two local children’s hospitals in Southern California.
Of equal importance is the fact that Toyota has also taken the opportunity to feature its motorsports involvement internally.
Toyota also continues a successful tradition of its annual “Motorsports Day,” featuring NASCAR, NHRA, and off-road driver appearances at Toyota headquarters in
Torrance, Calif. each March, as well as providing similar opportunities at its manufacturing facilities throughout the country.
“Racing is a great way to further business and bolster associate morale and teamwork,” said Unger. “We never want to forget that it’s our 35,000 plus team members
across the nation and more than 115,000 employees at our Toyota, Lexus and Scion dealerships that are integral to the company’s continued success.”

NASCAR SPRINT CUP SERIES - QUICK FACTS
TOYOTA IN THE NASCAR SPRINT CUP SERIES
During its first six seasons and 216 races in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS), Toyota has visited victory lane 49 times, recorded 43 pole positions and
registered 221 top-five finishes. Kyle Busch earned Toyota’s first-ever NSCS win at Atlanta Motor Speedway in March of 2008. In addition, Toyota has been
represented in the ‘Chase for the Sprint Cup’ championship playoff in each of the last five seasons — with Busch, Denny Hamlin and Tony Stewart in 2008;
Hamlin and Brian Vickers in 2009; Busch and Hamlin in 2010 and 2011; and Hamlin, Clint Bowyer and Martin Truex Jr. in 2012. Bowyer and Truex being in the
Chase marked the first time that Michael Waltrip Racing (MWR) ever had cars competing for the championship.
In 2012, Camry drivers won 10 races and registered 12 poles, along with three drivers -- Bowyer, Hamlin and Truex -- finishing the year among the top-12 in the
final point standings. Hamlin led the way with a total of five victories for Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR), and Bowyer scored three wins in his first season with MWR.
JGR drivers Busch and Joey Logano also earned wins during the 2012 season.

NASCAR NATIONWIDE SERIES - QUICK FACTS
TOYOTA IN THE NASCAR NATIONWIDE SERIES
During its first six seasons and 207 races in the NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS), Toyota has visited victory lane 74 times, recorded 66 pole positions and earned
296 top-five finishes. Jason Leffler became the first driver to win a race in a Camry in NASCAR competition when he took the checkered flag at Lucas Oil Raceway at
Indianapolis on July 28, 2007. Kyle Busch has earned the most NNS victories for Toyota, with 40 wins, and is the all-time wins leader in the series with 51 total victories.
In 2012, Camry drivers won 10 races and claimed 12 pole positions. In addition, two Toyota drivers finished the season among the top-10 in the championship point
standings, Mike Bliss (eighth) and Brian Scott (ninth), and the Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) No. 18 Camry earned its fourth NNS owner’s championship in the last five seasons.
Joey Logano earned a series-high nine wins, while Kurt Busch claimed the first series victory for Kyle Busch Motorsports (KBM) at Richmond International Raceway in
April. Camry drivers Logano (six), Kyle Busch (three), Denny Hamlin (one), Ryan Truex (one) and Darrell Wallace Jr. earned pole positions during the 2012 season.

NASCAR CAMPING WORLD TRUCK SERIES - QUICK FACTS
SERIES
The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) is one of three premier national series, along with the Sprint Cup Series and the Nationwide Series, sanctioned
by the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR). The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series made its debut at Phoenix International Raceway on
Feb. 5, 1995. Competitors race on a variety of oval tracks – ranging from half-mile short tracks to the 2.66-mile Talladega Superspeedway to the first-ever event on
the Eldora Speedway dirt track – throughout the United States, as stand-alone events, or in conjunction with Sprint Cup or Nationwide Series races.

During its first eight seasons and 220 races in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, Tundra drivers have visited victory lane 99 times and recorded 86
pole positions. Travis Kvapil recorded Toyota’s first-ever NCWTS win at Michigan International Speedway in 2004. Two years later, Toyota won its initial Driver’s
Championship with Todd Bodine and Germain Racing. In 2008, Johnny Benson and his Bill Davis Racing crew earned the second Driver’s Championship for
Toyota. In 2010, Bodine and the Germain Racing crew earned the third Driver’s Championship for Toyota, becoming the first driver to win multiple championships
behind the wheel of a Tundra.
In 2012, Tundra drivers won nine races and registered five pole positions. Tundra driver Timothy Peters finished second in the final championship point standings
and his Red Horse Racing teammate Parker Kligerman finished fifth. Peters and Johnny Sauter paced Toyota with two wins apiece in 2012, while Tundra drivers
Todd Bodine, Denny Hamlin, John King, Kligerman and Brian Scott each recorded one victory in 2012. Both Kligerman and Peters earned two pole positions during
the season, and Matt Crafton also won a pole during the 2012 season.

During its first four seasons and 45 races in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East, Toyota has visited victory lane 24 times and recorded 22 pole positions.
Matt DiBenedetto recorded Toyota’s first-ever NKNPSE win at Tri-County (NC) Speedway in April 2009. That same year, Ryan Truex won the manufacturer’s
first NKNPSE Driver’s Championship for Michael Waltrip Racing, and followed that with a second-consecutive title in 2010.
Toyota won six races in 2010. Truex won a pair of races at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, while fellow Camry drivers Brett Moffitt (Martinsville Speedway
and Dover International Speedway) and Max Gresham (South Boston Speedway and Iowa Speedway) — both for Joe Gibbs Racing — also won a pair of events.
The 2011 season brought Toyota a third Driver’s Championship, this time with Max Gresham driving for Joe Gibbs Racing. Toyota also earned a third
Manufacturer’s Championship in 2011 with Camry drivers winning all 12 races on the schedule and 11 of the possible 12 pole positions.
In 2012 Toyota, NASCAR and Rev Racing (formerly known as Revolution Racing) won the first championship for the NASCAR Drive for Diversity program,
with Kyle Larson behind the wheel of his Camry. He also earned Rookie of the Year honors and his teammate, Bryan Ortiz, was runner up.

PRO / CELEBRITY RACE - QUICK FACTS
WHAT
The Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race (TPCR) has grown into one of the most popular on-track events that will take place during the 39th annual Toyota Grand Prix of
Long Beach race weekend. Since its beginning 36 years ago, the Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race has grown into the most comprehensive, longest-running corporatesponsored celebrity racing event in the world. This event is once again expected to raise over $100,000 for “Racing for Kids,” a national organization that benefits
children’s hospitals in Southern California. The 10-lap star-studded exhibition race will feature celebrities competing against professional drivers in identically
prepared Scion FR-S models.
Dara Torres (celebrity category) and Danica Patrick (pro-category) made history in 2002, becoming the first female race winners in the event’s history. In 2008,
ESPN pit reporter Jamie Little joined the elite dynamic duo after taking the checkered flag to become the third female winner in the history of the TPCR. In 2011,
Adam Carolla won the “celebrity category”, and was “overall” champion; Frederic Aasbo was the “pro” category winner.

CHARITABLE BENEFITS
On behalf of each celebrity and professional participant, Toyota will donate $5,000 to “Racing for Kids,” a national fund-raising program supporting children’s
hospitals throughout the United States. Over and above this donation, Toyota will contribute an additional $5,000 to the race winner’s charity of choice. In keeping
with tradition, monies raised from this year’s event will benefit two Southern California health facilities specializing in children’s healthcare, Miller Children’s
Hospital of Long Beach and Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC). On behalf of the close to 600 former TPCR participants, Toyota and the Grand Prix
Foundation have donated in excess of #2 million to “Racing for Kids.”
In addition to Toyota’s donation on behalf of each participant, People Magazine will present the 15th Annual “People Pole Award” on Friday, April 19 immediately
following the qualifying session. The pole award, sponsored by People Magazine, consists of a separate $15,000 donation to the fastest “celebrity category”
qualifier’s charity organization of choice.
RACE TRAINING
FAST LANE Racing School, which is owned and operated by Danny McKeever, is the “Official Racing School of Toyota Motorsports.” For over two decades, FAST
LANE has developed and provided exclusive training for all participants in the annual Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race, including specialized classroom and on-track

NHRA MELLO YELLO DRAG RACING SERIES - QUICK FACTS
The Mello Yello Drag Racing Series makes 24 stops in 21 cities from February through November. Founded by Wally Parks in 1951, NHRA has been dedicated
to safety while providing millions of racing fans with the fastest and most spectacular form of entertainment on wheels. Second to only NASCAR in terms of
attendance, fan appeal, and sponsorship commitment, NHRA is moving quickly into mainstream America.
TOP FUEL
Among the fastest-accelerating machines in the world, the 7,000- horsepower Top Fuel dragsters are often referred to as the “kings of the sport.” Capable of
covering 1,000 feet in under four seconds at more than 330 mph, these “rails” are powered by a supercharged and fuel-injected 500-cubic-inch adaptation of the
famed Chrysler Hemi engine. Top Fuel dragsters can burn up to 15 gallons of nitromethane fuel during a single quarter-mile run. Constructed of chromoly steel
tubing and carbon-fiber composite, Top Fuel cars are 25 feet long and weigh 2,250 pounds in race-ready trim.
NITRO FUNNY CAR
Similar to their Top Fuel counterparts but with a shorter wheelbase and a carbon-fiber body that loosely resembles a production-based automobile, Funny Cars
routinely run in the four-second range and are capable of speeds in excess of 320 mph. Funny Cars are powered by the same supercharged and fuel-injected
500-inch engines as Top Fuel dragsters. Funny Cars are also similar to Top Fuel dragsters in that they do not use a transmission but rather transmit power to the
huge rear tires through a multistage clutch assembly that is activated by timers.

One of the most innovative and successful minds in NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing, Alan Johnson has won 10 Top Fuel championships as a crew chief and team
manager. He moved into his current role as owner of Alan Johnson Racing and team manager for Al-Anabi Racing in 2009. Since that time, he has guided the
team to 29 Top Fuel wins over the past four seasons, including 22 over a two-year span that saw the team win consecutive Top Fuel championships with Larry
Dixon in 2010 and Del Worsham in 2011. Johnson has now been involved in winning seven of the last nine Top Fuel titles. In 2012, the team brought two new
drivers into its ranks in Shawn Langdon and Khalid alBalooshi, with each winning a race, while Langdon earned five number one qualifiers on the way to a fourthplace overall finish. The 2011 season saw Worsham win a series-high eight races, along with two wins by Dixon. That followed a dominating 2010 season that saw
Dixon win 12 races. Over the course of the 2010-2011 seasons, the team won 22 of 45 Top Fuel events. In 2009, the team fell just two points shy of earning the
Top Fuel championship in its debut season as Dixon won five races, while Worsham had three Funny Car victories on the way to an overall seventh-place finish.
The Al-Anabi team is owned by His Highness Sheikh Khalid Bin Hamad Al Thani, who has set a goal of promoting the domestic and international awareness of
motorsports in the nation of Qatar. Including his sportsman-level successes with his late brother Blaine Johnson, Johnson has amassed 14 championships in his
career, including four in Top Alcohol and 10 in Top Fuel. Additionally, Johnson has tuned his drivers to nine national records, including seven elapsed time and two
top speed marks. He tuned Tony Schumacher to five consecutive Top Fuel titles from 2004 through 2008.

Shawn Langdon won his first Top Fuel event in the Fall event at Charlotte and earned five number one qualifiers in his debut season with Al-Anabi Racing after
three years with Morgan Lucas Racing. He has qualified for the Countdown to the Championship playoffs in each of the last three seasons, placing a careerbest fourth in 2012, after a ninth in 2011 and a fifth-place overall finish in 2010. He advanced to two finals in 2011, including the prestigious Winternationals.
In 2010, after a fairly slow start, Langdon came on strong down the stretch and advanced to the finals twice in the season’s final four races. He also registered
three semi-final appearances during the course of the season. In 2009, he began his professional career in Top Fuel with the Morgan Lucas Racing team.
Langdon was a top candidate for Rookie of the Year honors after qualifying at every event, making the semis on eight occasions and earning his first
finals appearance at Charlotte. He placed ninth overall for the season. He began his career in the NHRA Junior Dragster ranks, winning the 1997 national
championship at age 14. He progressed in amateur competition, winning the Super Comp title at the JEGS All-Stars event in Chicago in both 2005 and 2006.

The 2013 season will mark Cruz Pedregon’s sixth season driving a nitropowered Toyota Camry in the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series. In the
previous five seasons, he has registered three top-four overall championship
finishes. In 2012, he won the season-ending NHRA Finals at Pomona, as
well as posting five number one qualifiers on the way to a fourth-place finish.
Pedregon’s championship hopes went all the way to the semi-final round of
the final race of the 2011 season. He earned one victory (Dallas) and advanced
to the semi-finals or beyond 10 times, as well as earning six number one
qualifying positions. After struggling early in 2010, Pedregon closed the
season with a flurry, winning two Countdown events and qualifying in the top
six in each of the season’s final 10 races. He placed 11th overall. In 2009, he
made four semi-finals on the way to placing 12th overall. Pedregon won the
season’s final three races in 2008 to capture his second NHRA Nitro Funny Car
championship (the first being in 1992). He started in alcohol dragsters in 1987,
it didn’t take long to hit his stride as he won six races in 1990 before moving
up to Nitro Funny Car in 1992 — and winning the championship, as well as
Rookie-of-the-Year honors. He has a career best E.T. of 3.997 over 1000 feet
along with a top speed of 316.75 mph entering the 2013 campaign. Along with
his two championships, Pedregon has 34 career wins with his 30 Funny Car
victories tying for fifth on the all-time win list.

The NHRA multi-team owner was one of the pioneers of the sport of drag
racing. Remembered as one of the fiercest match-racers to ever compete in
a Funny Car, Schumacher won five NHRA national events, including the 1970
U.S. Nationals at Indianapolis. Piloting his famous “Stardust” Funny Cars, the
Chicago native set numerous records. In 1974, Schumacher retired from driving
to develop his family business, Schumacher Electric Corp., one of the world’s
leading manufacturers of battery chargers. He returned to NHRA drag racing in
1998 as team owner of the Exide Batteries Top Fuel dragster driven by his son,
Tony Schumacher. In 13 seasons, Schumacher has seen his teams win 10 NHRA
championships (seven Tony Schumacher, one Gary Scelzi, one Antron Brown,
one Jack Beckman), including both Top Fuel and Funny Car titles in 2012,
and more than 170 NHRA national events. Schumacher owns three Top Fuel
dragsters and four Funny Cars for 2013.

TOYOTA OFF-ROAD DRIVERS
JOHNNY GREAVES
Beginning at the age of 12 in motocross, Johnny Greaves has won races and championships in every level of competition.
At 23, he soon earned success while buggy racing in SCORE off-road desert and SODA short-course off-road series
(the precursor to Championship Off-Road Racing — CORR).
In the early ’90s, Greaves, from DePere, WI, earned multiple buggy-class championships. That same year, Greaves took his
first steps in compact trucks by racing select events in Class 7s. In 1993, he began racing trucks exclusively and debuted a
Toyota SR-5. With his energies devoted full-time to truck racing, Greaves finished the season in the winner’s circle at the final
two events of the SODA season.
From 1994 to 1996, Greaves won two championships and more than 70 percent of the races he entered. He developed a
two-truck Toyota team with his closest rival, Jeff Kincaid, in 1997. Greaves/Kincaid Motorsports won 19 out of 20 races while
capturing the championship (Greaves) and a second-place finish (Kincaid) in both the SODA Series and CORR Winter Series.
The 1998 and 1999 seasons were a continuation of the Greaves/Kincaid team’s incredible success as they dominated the CORR
PRO Light compact truck class in their Toyota Tacomas. In 1998, Greaves was victorious in 10 of 16 races and upstaged himself
in 1999 with 11 wins, capturing his third PRO Light championship.
In 2000, Greaves made the move to full-size trucks with a 2WD PRO 2 Class Toyota Tundra. Season highlights included a win at the finale in Topeka, KS, and the top
PRO 2 truck (third overall with the PRO 4s) in the BorgWarner Cup at Crandon.
Greaves made another jump in 2001 up to the PRO 4 (full-size, 4WD) class with great results. His three victories were the second most in the class, placing him third
overall in his first season. He is the only racer in the series’ history to have race wins in each of the three professional classes.
Greaves reached another milestone in 2002 with a PRO 4 class championship in his Forest County Potawatomi Toyota Tundra 4x4 and led the class with
three victories. In 2003, Greaves earned four wins to tie for the division lead. He also had nine top-five finishes in 13 races to finish fourth overall in the PRO 4 division.
In 2004, Greaves captured the BorgWarner Cup at Crandon as well as four wins and 11 top-five finishes in 14 races. He finished fifth overall in the PRO 4 division.
In 2005 and 2006, Greaves secured the PRO 4 class championship in his Forest County Potawatomi Toyota Tundra 4x4 and in 2005, set a new CORR record
with seven consecutive wins — eight total for the year. His performance, along with that of Toyota driver Rick Huseman, netted Toyota the PRO 4 Manufacturer’s
Championship in 2005.
In 2006 Greaves was named “Driver of the Year.” With the 2007 entry of WSORR into the world of short-course off-road racing, it was a busy year for Greaves and his
team. He was the only Tundra driver to compete in both series. He won the WSORR PRO 4x4 Driver Championship with six wins and 11 top-five finishes in 11 races.
He also won the 13th annual BorgWarner Manufacturer’s Challenge Cup. This marks Johnny’s second consecutive win of this prestigious race. Winning was a family
affair these past three seasons with his brother Curt Greaves being named 2005, 2006 and 2007 “Crew Chief of the Year.”
In 2008, Greaves Motorsports took their racing program to another level by adding a second truck to the mix in the PRO 2 class. The season proved to be a challenge
for the Monster Energy Potawatomi Toyota BFG team, as one of Greaves worst career crashes came at Pomona, flipping nearly 8 times and sending him to the
hospital. He was unable to run in the Sunday race. But, Greaves and his team proved their resilience by coming back and winning at Crandon two weeks later after
having to completely rebuild the truck.
The team made significant progress with several podium finishes and a win in Primm, NV along with 13 top five finishes. By the end of the season, Greaves had one
win in PRO 4, finished 5th in the final standings in CORR, and had four victories in WSORR.
With the demise of CORR, Johnny and a group of pro drivers formed the Professional Drivers Group (PDG). This group organized with the goal of developing
a united, short-course off-road racing series. Out of that emerged The Off-Road Championship Series (TORC) headed up by supercross legend, Ricky Johnson
and Johnny’s agent, Mitch Covington. The 2009 inaugural season remarkably came together in a very short time with a great TV package and top national venues.

TOYOTA OFF-ROAD DRIVERS
JOHNNY GREAVES (CONT.)
Before the season began, a great opportunity presented itself to Johnny Greaves Motorsports, with supercross superstar Jeremy McGrath joining the team to drive
Johnny’s PRO 2WD class Toyota. Johnny’s 2009 TORC Series PRO 4X4 season was filled with near misses, spectacular crashes, and exciting victories. He earned
his first win in the second race weekend at Perris Auto Speedway in Perris, Calif. He managed a weekend sweep at the Bark River International Raceway in rounds
7 and 8. Johnny finished the season in a respectable 4th place in points.
In the off season, Monster Energy/Toyota/BFG pulled together to attempt a record jump in a 4-wheeled vehicle. Johnny not only beat the record – he shattered
it by jumping to a new World Record: 301 feet!
Johnny tore into the 2010 TORC Series season with a vengeance on Father’s Day weekend by winning the opening round at Crandon International Off-road
Raceway. His son, CJ, also took the top podium spot in the Super Buggy for a great Father/Son victory sweep. Johnny followed his Crandon success with backto-back victories in Bark River. He also earned the Oakley Bomb award for the fastest lap in both races and finished the season with an impressive 6 awards.
He also won at Chicagoland’s Route 66 track in TORC’s first trip to the windy city. Greaves finished the season with 5 wins and 8 podiums to clinch another
Pro 4 off-road championship. CJ won the Super Buggy championship to complete the first short-course father/son championship combination.
Hoping to repeat as champion in 2011, Johnny took three wins and eight podiums, but came up 15 points shy after entering the final round in a tie.
Regardless, he set a new track record at Crandon and collected five more Oakley Bomb awards for the fastest race lap.
Greaves currently holds the most all-time short-course off-road racing victories with 80 off-road victories since 1998.
COLTON “CJ” GREAVES
Colton, or as he is affectionately known as “CJ”, has grown up in off-road racing in the shadows of his multiple off-road
championship dad, Johnny Greaves. He began his racing career in motocross with regional victories and several trips to
the National AMA Championship at Loretta Lynn’s in Tennessee. Everyone knew that someday he would follow in his dad’s
footsteps and get behind the wheel of a four wheeled off-road vehicle.
In 2010, CJ got behind the wheel of a racing vehicle in the form of a Super Buggy at the tender age of 15. He immediately
became competitive in a field of wily veterans. CJ got off to a great start by taking the second place podium spot in his very
first race. He followed that up with 3 straight wins, 2-second place finishes and a third place. He finished the year with 5 wins
and 9 podiums in 12 rounds of racing to claim his first off-road championship in the Super Buggy Class and become the
youngest driver to win a short-course championship.
CJ also took to the wheel of a Super Lite truck in the Lucas Series. These high performance arrive and drive trucks are
a perfect training vehicle for the more powerful pro trucks.
In 2011, CJ defended his title in the Super Buggy class and had an up and down rookie season in the V8-powered
PRO Light class. He captured five podium finishes and capped off the season by collecting the Traxxas Cup.
In 2012, CJ jumped into arguably the most competitive class, PRO 2WD, and won the first race of the season and went on to win one more and capture 5 podiums
while deep in the mix for the championship. Ultimately the competition was too tough, but at 17 years of age, he has many years ahead of him and shows great
promise behind the wheel of an off-road truck.

TOYOTA OFF-ROAD HISTORY
From as early as 1983, Toyota’s off-road racing program achieved unparalleled success in sold-out stadiums and faraway deserts throughout the U.S. and Mexico.
Toyota’s partnership with Precision Preparation, Inc., (PPI) produced immediate results in the Mickey Thompson Stadium Off-Road Racing (MTEG) Series.
Over the 13-year history of the popular stadium series, talented racers such as Ivan “Ironman” Stewart, Rod and Steve Millen, Robby Gordon and Jeff Huber
proved dominant in Toyota’s 11 MTEG Manufacturer’s Championships and nine Driver’s Titles.
Toyota enjoyed unrivaled stadium success throughout the series’ storied history. Ultimately, the manufacturer registered 50 overall victories, nine Driver’s
Championships (Stewart, Rod and Steve Millen, and Gordon) and 11 Manufacturer’s Titles dating from 1983 to 1994.
The off-road program with PPI soon expanded to include mini- and mid-size pickup trucks in the ever-growing desert competition series. Rapid success,
highlighted by Toyota’s first Baja 500 victory and four SCORE World Championships, established an early dominance in desert off-road racing.
In the harsh hinterlands of Baja and the American Southwest, Toyota’s desert successes were unmatched from 1983 to 2000. Behind the legendary driving of
the “Ironman,” Toyota earned 34 victories, 9 championships, 11 Baja 500 wins and two Baja 1000 titles.
To support the efforts of competitors in the SCORE International Off-Road Racing series, Toyota established the Toyota Milestone Awards 24 years ago in 1986.
The award is presented to the off-road racers who successfully complete every mile of every race in the prestigious SCORE Desert Racing Series.
Toyota’s Off-Road Racing program has continued the company’s outstanding success in the world of off-road truck racing. Toyota Tacomas have dominated the
PRO Light class, winning seven consecutive driver’s championships (eight overall). Teammates Johnny Greaves (PRO Light and PRO 4 class) and Jeff Kincaid
(PRO Light class), from Greaves/Kincaid Motorsports, have each claimed numerous titles between 1997 and 2009 — seven for Kincaid and seven for Greaves.

2013 USAC NATIONAL MIDGET CAR SERIES/POWRI MIDGET CAR
SERIES/SILVER CROWN SERIES - QUICK FACTS
The United States Auto Club (USAC) is an open-wheel sanctioning body that was formed in 1955 by legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway owner Tony Hulman.
USAC was established as a non-profit race-sanctioning body for purposes of developing rules and specifications for the sport, creating a uniform framework
for the racers and race participants, as well as providing qualified officials to oversee its events. The introduction of a common rule book for all USAC-affiliated
racetracks, promoters, competitors and events was USAC’s first and most important contribution to the sport. The USAC National Midget Car Series,
a professional-level championship touring series promoting midget racing throughout the U.S., was formed as a result of the new common rule book.
Heading into the 2010 season, this organization is known as one of the world’s most competitive racing series and is in its 55th year of operation.
USAC Midget racing has been a stepping stone for some of the nation’s greatest racing talent, due in part to the diversity of the dirt and pavement tracks
they compete on and the quick reflexes necessary for this type of racing. Former National Midget Series’ standouts Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, Jason Leffler,
Kasey Kahne, Ryan Newman and John Andretti have turned a spotlight on the series as a reliable source to scout up-and-coming racing talent. Other notable
drivers who have made their way through the USAC Midget ranks include A.J. Foyt, Mario Andretti, Johnny Rutherford, Parnelli Jones and Al Unser.
Formed in 1991, the Silver Crown division was originally intended to run on one-mile dirt tracks and started as an offshoot of the series that competed for the
“National Championship Trail.” Since then, this action-packed division has grown into the premier series sanctioned by the United States Auto Club.
Toyota-powered drivers will also use 360 cu. in. V8 engines during competition.
POWRi (Performance Open Wheel Racing Inc.) Racing organizes and sanctions the POWRi Lucas Oil National Midget Series. Kenny Brown and Jim Siner
co-founded the series for the 2005 season with the National Midgets. POWRi signed a multi-year agreement to become the promoter at historic Angell Park
Speedway in Sun Prairie, WI, and became the sanctioning body for the POWRi Lucas Oil Speedcar Super Series and POWRi Lucas Oil New Zealand Midget
Super Series for the 2013 season. POWRi is based in Millstadt, Ill.
TOYOTA IN USAC RACING (NATIONAL MIDGET CAR AND SILVER CROWN)
In partnership with 9 Racing and Ed Pink Racing Engines, Toyota Motorsports and TRD, U.S.A. (Toyota Racing Development) developed Toyota’s first-ever
purpose-built USAC racing engine in 2006, a 4-cylinder race engine for USAC Midget competition, which will enter its eighth year of competition in 2013.
In 2008, the Toyota 360 cu. in. V8 engine was successfully launched into Silver Crown competition powering Jerry Coons, Jr. to the 2008 Drivers’ Championship.
The Toyota V8 used in this program is a derivative of the former 8-cylinder Toyota engine used in the NASCAR Nationwide and Craftsman Truck Series.
Modifications were made to accommodate the alcohol fuel run in USAC competition, as well as the switch from a carburetor to a mechanical injection system.
The cylinder heads are similar to those used in the Toyota USAC National Midget Car Series program.
To date, Toyota-powered entries have won 54 USAC national races, including such prestigious events as the Turkey Night Grand Prix (five in the last six years),
the Night Before the 500, Copper World Classic and the Hoosier Hundred. In 2012, Toyota-powered race cars won 13 times in Midget Car competition and
registered five victories in Silver Crown action.
