NASCAR NEXTEL CUP SERIES

NASCAR Camping World Truck Series History The Camping World Truck Series is one of three premier national series, along with the Sprint Cup Series and the Nationwide Series, sanctioned by the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR). The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) made its debut at Phoenix International Raceway on Feb. 5, 1995. Competitors race on a variety of oval tracks – ranging from half-mile short tracks to the 2.5-mile Daytona International Speedway – throughout the United States, as stand-alone events, or in conjunction with Sprint Cup or Nationwide Series races. SPEED will again provide television coverage for the events in 2011.


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 that time, Tundras have won 80 races in the series, including 29 over the past two seasons with Kyle Busch winning 15 of those in just 31 starts. Toyota has won each of the last five NCWTS Manufacturer’s Championships, while drivers Todd Bodine (2006 and 2010) and Johnny Benson (2008) have won Driver’s titles.
