Toyota’s Plans for the Busch Series are Low-Key:

Toyota’s entrance into the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series and Craftsman Truck Series were both made with a lot of fanfare, but the Japanese automaker isn’t making a lot of noise about its Busch Series plans. “The company doesn’t really have a particular interest in Busch,” Toyota Racing Development Senior Vice President and General Manager Lee White said. An announcement of [Toyota’s] Busch Series teams should be made in the coming months. “It’ll probably be 5 or 6 cars over the next couple years that will end up running in the Busch Series as Toyotas.”(NASCAR Scene)(2-2-2006)
