Darrell Waltrip Motorsports and Toyota announced that Ken Schrader will pilot the #11 Federated Auto Parts Toyota Tundra in the upcoming NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Michigan International Speedway. “After a successful second half to the 2004 season, we’ve had a rather slow start this year,” said Pat Wall, NCTS Program Manager at TRD. “We’ve asked Darrell Waltrip Motorsports to help us evaluate the overall Tundra package in order to enable us to continue to be successful.” Overall, Toyota Tundras have recorded four wins, seven pole positions, 31 top-five and 68 top-10 finishes since the beginning of the 2004 season. “Toyota was very successful during their first year of NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series competition,” said Darrell Waltrip. “We welcome the opportunity to field a third truck for Toyota. I know that Bobby Kennedy and our group will do everything possible to make this a successful endeavor. Having a third truck at Michigan will not only be valuable to TRD, but it will be beneficial to both of our teams throughout the rest of the season. We’re looking forward to Michigan.”(Darrell Waltrip Motorsports PR)(6-9-2005)
