Toyota will be joining the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series in big ways. Toyota is a strong contender to win the series, regardless of whether Kurt Busch or Kyle Busch are your drivers. Find out how to get involved. These Toyota drivers are here to help you find what car you want. Let's first take a look at the vehicles.
Kurt Busch
Kurt Busch almost won both the All-Star race, and the Coca-Cola 600 in his rookie season. Busch almost hit one of the yellow barrels on pit roads at the end the Richmond race. If he had, it would have cost his championship. The caution was issued when a tire fell down the front stretch. Kurt Busch made a comeback from his mishap and placed fifth in the race. He also scored ten Top 5 finishes and twenty-one Top 10 finishes.
Kyle Busch
Kyle Busch has been an important pillar for Toyota and has been crucial in the company's growth. He won his first Cup race in 2008, and then he went on to win the championship. Kyle Busch Motorsports, his team, is closely tied to Toyota. Many of its drivers were former Toyota employees. Bubba Wallace, Harrison Burton and William Byron are all notable Toyota drivers who have volunteered to drive for Kyle Busch. Kyle Busch has also driven for Daniel Suarez, Todd Gilliland, and Noah Gragson, as well as drivers of the Camping World Truck Series.
NXS
Many NASCAR Cup Series racers have appeared in the Toyota NXS occasionally, often on their days off. The goal is typically to get "seattime" at the track and familiarize yourself with it. Some people have won the event. Kyle Busch, Dale Earnhardt, and Kyle Busch are just two examples. In addition to Truex, there are other Toyota NXS drivers with notable careers. Let's take a closer glance at a few these drivers.
Truck
You've probably seen the truck driven by one of the Toyota NASCAR truck drivers. What makes a NASCAR car different than the Tundra you have in your driveway? A Toyota NASCAR truck is made from fiberglass and is mounted on a steel frame. Aerodynamic modifications have been made to the truck, including adding a rear-wing and filling out the bed. The front air splitter is designed to increase down force.
NXS-T
The Toyota NXS-T hybrid racecar offers performance comparable to a stock car but has the handling and power equivalent to a NASCAR truck. Toyota vehicles can be intimidating for drivers who have not tried them before. With three-speed manual transmissions, the car offers a smooth ride and has the power to compete in the top series. Toyota has partnered with several top teams to develop driver candidates for the NXS series.
Busch's NASCAR career
Kyle Busch, a 2015 competitor in the restrictor plate race, announced his decision to retire. He crashed in a truck-race with just five laps left. It was quite shocking. He was able to recover from the injury and won his Can-Am Duel. His next race was the Daytona 500. In the Duel, Busch won the pole position. He was the first to start on the front row. After a stop/go penalty, Busch restarted in field and finished second. Busch was third in the Daytona 500.
Pit strategy for Toyota Nascar drivers
Toyota is now co-ordinating the pit strategy and all drivers. Troika will coordinate the pit stops with three other manufacturers and take turns to pit the car when it is green. This caused Toyota cars to be split during pit stops last year, which cost them track position as well as a chance at winning. It is not an ideal solution. The manufacturers will still have to divide the pit crews but it will be quicker and easier.
Mistakes made by Toyota nascar drivers
The Toyota team has been struggling to win races in the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series. The team had two teams in last year's Championship 4, but it hasn't been able to do so in the three first weeks. The drivers who led the standings during the regular season all made mistakes during Sunday's Auto Club 400. These are some examples of the mistakes made:
NASCAR's Kurt Busch performance
In 2015, Kyle Busch's performance in NASCAR was quite decent. He won three races while finishing fourth in four. His best result in the series was his fifth place finish at the Budweiser Duel race and third at Talladega. In contrast, Busch suffered several unlucky breaks during the second half of the year. At Darlington, Busch crashed out and damaged the race car. At Martinsville, Busch had overheating problems and finished twenty-seventh. He finished twenty-eighth at the Atlanta race after he failed to qualify.

What type of cars are used in racing cars and why?
Speed is essential for race car drivers. It is what makes them go fast. They need to be fast enough for other drivers to catch them, but strong enough so they can keep the lead. This gives them an advantage over the rest of the racers, as they can quickly overtake other drivers at high speeds and pull away from them again when it's not their turn.
Most of the fastest cars are very light. This allows them to accelerate quickly and gain a lot of speed. This also means that they have less power, which restricts how far they are able to travel in a short time. They must make use of their energy efficiently.
Engines power most modern-day racing cars. These engines are identical to those used in passenger vehicles. These engines are powered by compressed air, instead of petrol. This is because petrol isn't powerful enough to provide enough power to make a car go very fast.
