Kansas Truck race named the Toyota Tundra 250

“I’m excited to partner with Toyota on our NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race,” Kansas Speedway President Patrick Warren said in a track release. “Toyota has been a great long-term partner of ours, and they have had tremendous success in the series. I look forward to working with them to bring fans another exciting truck series race at Kansas Speedway.

Since Toyota entered the series in 2004, the manufacturer has four wins, 25 top 5s and 47 top-10 finishes at the track, including the last two victories by Matt Crafton in 2013 and Kyle Busch in 2014.

“We’re proud to sponsor the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Kansas Speedway,” Ed Laukes, vice president of marketing, performance and guest experience for Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), U.S.A., said in the track’s release. “Toyota’s entry into NASCAR’s national levels started with the Truck Series back in 2004 and we’re thrilled with the success our Tundra drivers and teams have seen over the past 11 years.

“Our team members who build all of our production Tundras in San Antonio, Texas take great pride in the on-track accomplishments of the race Tundras and are looking forward to the Toyota Tundra 250 taking place at Kansas Speedway.”

Tundras have earned 131 victories, seven manufacturer titles and five driver championships, including the first back-to-back series champion with Crafton taking titles in 2013 and 2014.
