NASCAR and Toyota announced Monday the manufacture plans to expand its NASCAR racing program by competing in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series and the NASCAR Busch Series starting in 2007. The Camry will be chosen for Toyotas racing program in these series.

This news comes following three years of Toyota competing in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and will result in all three of NASCAR's national series having four manufactures competing. "NASCAR welcomes Toyota to the greatest auto racing in the world," said NASCAR Chairman and CEO Brian France, who made the announcement on Monday at NASCAR'S Research and Development Center in Concord, N.C.
