• Toyota - Toyota Has A Rich History In American Motorsports. Having finished its 20th year of American professional auto racing, Toyota has established a rich racing history in a relatively short period of time. The 2002 CART Manufacturer's and Driver's Championships add to a successful past that has witnessed Toyota victories at the Daytona 24 Hours, the 12 Hours of Sebring, the Pikes Peak Hill Climb and the Baja 500 and Baja 1000. Beginning in 2003, the manufacturer will look to add the greatest prize in American motorsports, a victory at the Indianapolis 500, during its first season in the Indy Racing League IndyCar Series. Toyota's place in American auto racing is not limited to major victories and championships. It extends from event sponsorships and engine development to factory-backed teams and grassroots efforts.
