TOYOTA’S HISTORY IN AMERICAN MOTORSPORTS
Now in its 32nd 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 2013, Toyota participated in a variety of motorsports disciplines, winning races in NASCAR, NHRA, off-road trucks, USAC and POWRi, while also earning
championships in NHRA, TORC, USAC and POWRi 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.
In 2013, Camry drivers recorded 14 wins — a single-season high for Toyota in the NSCS — and started from the front of the field 12 times. Matt Kenseth placed
second overall, matching the second-place showings from Bowyer in 2012 and Hamlin in 2010.
Nationwide Series
Toyota will be returning to the NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) for its eighth season of competition in 2014. 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.
2
Toyota drivers finished the 2013 season with 14 wins, 14 pole positions, 56 top-five finishes and 102 top-10 results. While ineligible for the Driver’s Championship as
a full-time Sprint Cup competitor, Busch registered one of the most dominant seasons in series history with 12 wins, 21 top-five finishes and 22 top-10 results in 26
series starts. Elliott Sadler (fourth), Kligerman (ninth) and Brian Vickers (10th) finished the season in the top-10 of the NNS point standings.
Overall, Toyota has 88 wins and 80 pole positions since joining series competition in 2007.
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.
Tundra drivers registered 13 victories during 2013 on the way to clinching Toyota’s sixth NCWTS manufacturer’s championship. Busch led the way with five wins as
his Kyle Busch Motorsports team captured the NCWTS owner’s championship.
Toyota has recorded 112 victories in the NCWTS.
The Off-Road Championship (TORC)
Toyota competed in its 16th season of off-road racing in 2013. 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, Johnny Greaves earned six victories as he captured his second championship in the last four seasons in 2013. It marked the third
championship for a Toyota Tundra driver with Rick Huseman capturing his first professional Driver’s Championship in 2009.
In 2013, C.J. Greaves registered four victories on the way to a third-place finish in PRO 2WD truck and placed second overall in PRO Light with six wins. In 2012,
he debuted a new PRO 2WD truck and won two races in finishing fourth. He placed third overall in PRO Light in 2012 with one win. Jeff Kincaid (Tacoma) recorded
six victories en route to his seventh in PRO Light 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 returned in 2013 to take 4th in the PRO-4
championships, with 2 wins and 4 podiums.
USAC/POWRi
Toyota will be entering its ninth season of USAC competition in 2014. Since the program’s inception, Toyota-powered drivers have won 88 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 four individual driving championships with Christopher Bell winning the USAC Dirt Midget Car championship in 2013,
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.

where Toyota-powered drivers won 15 races, capped off by Zach Daum winning Toyota’s first national Midget Car Series championship.
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 82 times, with 70 of those coming in Top Fuel
competition. In 2013, Shawn Langdon registered seven victories, including the prestigious Winternationals and U.S. Nationals, as well as seven number one qualifiers
on the way to his first Top Fuel title – and the fourth in a row for a Toyota-sponsored driver. Antron Brown placed second to make it a Toyota one-two in Top Fuel.
In Funny Car Cruz Pedregon won four races in his Camry and placed fourth overall. Overall, Toyota drivers reached the winner’s circle 18 times in Nitro competition
during the season.
In 2012, Antron Brown earned six victories on the way to capturing the Top Fuel title. 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 2013 Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) Runoffs® season saw Sedat Yelkin take home the Formula Atlantic national championship – the second consecutive
year a Toyota has won the Formula Atlantic title. Toyota-powered entries have now won 56 national championships over the past 26 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.
4
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 Car 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 industry’s economic climate challenges 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.”
“In 2013, we were able to expand our entitlements with a second NASCAR event sponsorship in Richmond, as well as the fall NHRA race in Las Vegas” said Unger.
“One thing remains constant, and that’s each of these tracks where we feature entitlements provide a great history and dedicated fan-bases.”
In 2014, 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 events in Sonoma, Calif. (the Toyota/Save Mart 350), Richmond (The ToyotaCare 250 Nationwide and Toyota Owners 400 Sprint Cup races),
the NHRA Toyota SuperNationals in Englishtown, N.J., and the NHRA Toyota Nationals in Las Vegas.
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, Dover International Raceway, Phoenix International Raceway and Auto Club Speedway
in Fontana, California. Plus Willow Springs Raceway in Rosamond, California, as well as the Official Truck of the AMA Supercross Series and new for 2014, the Official
Car of the NHRA.
“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, the ever expanding Prius family and the 2014 Tundra, RAV4 and Highlander.”
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 40th year of involvement in 2014 and feature the sixth appearance of the 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 38th annual Pro/Celebrity Race featuring the all new Scion FR-S.
The glitz and glamour of Hollywood with the signature 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 seven seasons and 252 races in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS), Toyota has visited victory lane 63 times, recorded 55 pole positions
and registered 275 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 six 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, Matt Kenseth, Busch and Bowyer in 2013.
In 2013, Camry drivers won 14 races – a season-high record for Toyota – and registered 12 poles, along with three drivers – Kenseth, Busch and Bowyer – finishing
the year among the top 10 in the final point standings. Kenseth in his first season with Toyota led the way with a total of seven victories for Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR),
and his JGR teammates Busch (four) and Hamlin (one) also claimed wins. Truex and Brian Vickers each visited victory lane once for Michael Waltrip Racing (MWR)
during the 2013 season.

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

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 Eldora Speedway

During its first 10 seasons and 244 races in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, Tundra drivers have visited victory lane 112 times and recorded 91 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 2013, Matt Crafton and ThorSport Racing earned their first NASCAR championship and the fourth Driver’s Championship for Toyota. In addition, Kyle Busch
Motorsports has won two Owner’s Championships for Toyota, in 2010 and 2013.
In 2013, Tundra drivers won 13 races and registered five pole positions. Four Tundra drivers finished in the top-10 in the series point standings with Johnny Sauter
in fourth, Darrell Wallace Jr. in eighth and Timothy Peters in the 10th position following fellow Toyota driver and series champion Matt Crafton. Kyle Busch won five
races in 2013, while Tundra driver Sauter won three events, Peters visited victory lane twice and Crafton recorded one victory in 2013. Darrell Wallace Jr. became
the first African-American to win a NASCAR race in 50 years with his series victory in 2013 and Erik Jones became the youngest race winner in series history when
he secured his first-career series victory at 17-years-old.

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.

The K&N Pro Series West is one of two regional series, along with the K&N Pro Series East, sanctioned by the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing
(NASCAR) in the United States. The NASCAR K&N Pro Series West (NKNPSW) made its debut in 1954 as the Pacific Coast Late Model circuit and is now in
its 60th year. Competitors race on a variety of smaller oval tracks and road courses on the West Coast, the Pacific Northwest and Midwest.

PRO / CELEBRITY RACE - QUICK FACTS
WHAT
The Pro/Celebrity Race has grown into one of the most popular on-track events that will take place during the 40th annual Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach race weekend.
Since its beginning 37 years ago, the Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race has grown into the most comprehensive, longest-running corporate-sponsored 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 2013,
Rutledge Wood won the “celebrity category”, and was “overall” champion; Adam Carolla 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 over 600 former TPCR participants, Toyota and the Grand Prix Foundation have
donated in excess of #2 million to “Racing for Kids.”
RACE TRAINING
FAST LANE Racing School, which is owned and operated by Danny McKeever, is the “Official Racing School of Toyota Motorsports.” For over three 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 education. Throughout the extensive training, participants will learn a variety of racing techniques including proper seating position, high-speed cornering,
flags and passing. For more information on FAST LANE Racing School, visit their web site at: www.raceschool.com

NHRA MELLO YELLO DRAG RACING SERIES - QUICK FACTS
The NHRA 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 500inch 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 11 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 eight of the last 10 Top Fuel titles. In 2013, Langdon claimed the team’s third title by winning
a series’ high seven races and registering an equal among of number one qualifying efforts. In addition, Khalid alBalooshi also won one race to give the team a total
of eight for the season. Both Langdon and alBalooshi each reached the winner’s circle once in 2012 – the first season for both with the team. 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 Excellency
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 15 championships in his career, including four in Top Alcohol and 11 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.

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.
169
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 back-to-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.
Despite 3 wins and 5 podiums, Greaves only placed 3rd in the 2012 PRO 4x4 championship, and went all out to build a new, faster race Tundra for 2013. The hard
work over winter paid off and Johnny took a season-high 6 wins and 11 podiums to claim back the 2013 Drivers Championship.
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.
2013 saw great progress for the now 18-year old CJ, placing 3rd in the PRO 2WD championship with 4 wins and 10 podiums, along with a big win in the annual
Amsoil Cup race at Crandon.
170
ERIC BARRON
Eric built an all-new truck in his home shop entering the 2012 season with the hopes of having similar success to that of
Johnny Greaves and Rick Huseman, racers who won numerous times and titles with Toyota power. The only difference is
Barron set out without a major sponsor or a factory engine deal, instead hoping his driving would do the talking.
With limited resources and foul weather washing out test attempts, Barron and his crew hit the track with a virtually untested truck.
They found some weak links but set to work following the weekend and hit the top of the time charts at the second event. After a
few events, Barron started to figure out the handling and setup of the truck and the nature of his competitors.
In Round 7, he broke through with his first podium finish at Miller Park and followed it up with a win the next day. To prove it
wasn’t a fluke, he won both rounds at Glen Helen, putting on a dazzling display of car control and sheer willpower in battling
eventual season champion Kyle LeDuc. The two went door-to-door lap after lap until Barron proved victorious.
The balance of the season was more of a struggle, but Barron found the podium one more time with a second place finish at
Las Vegas and led a bunch of laps. With the lessons learned in 2012, 2013 should be an even more successful year.
Eric continued to be very competitive in 2013, with a 4th place championship finish (only 3 points out of 3rd), and was unlucky
not to have more than his 2 wins and 4 podium finished this past season.
171
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.

2014 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 purposebuilt 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 cars won 13 times in Midget Car competition and registered
five victories in Silver Crown action.
