TOYOTA, WALTRIP & IMPROVING

Toyota is taking aggressive measures to improve its Nextel Cup teams. One of it's measures is in preparing a car from Waltrip Racing that they can use at a future 1.5-mile track.

Toyota is remaining patient, as they know it will take time to make a mark in NASCAR's premier series. They also hope sponsors like NAPA will remain patient as well. (Judging from the Sammy Hagar / NAPA ad, they just may be having a sense of humor about it.)

The Following are quotes from Lee White, general manager of Toyota Racing Development:
"Toyota is not a company that rolls heads easily....," he said. "Toyota is a company that honors its agreements and we have an agreement with our teams that is multiyear."


"Michael is not going to keep running the way he's demonstrated over five of 36 races. It's a little bit early in the program to be predicting someone's execution here."

I hope that's a reassuring tidbit for your Mikey fans!! It is for us in my household.
