You know they all look the same to me.
And what kind of a powerplant were those Toyota's running?
Wasn't aware the that Toyota was available with a small block V-8 with a four barrel carb for induction.
Due to the rules of NASCAR, anyone can get in (manufacturer wise) and about the only part of the car that has anything to do with that manufacturer . . . is their name on the door.
Same thing in Drag Racing. Toyota is now involved as a team sponsor on a Funny Car . . . with no Toyota parts on it . . .same as all the other cars. The lift up body does look "a little" like a Toyota . . .but only dead on.

Hell yea bro...I think it was like '68 when they released their first,a 3.0L V8,then in '69 I believe it bacame the 5.0L that some 20 years later would go into the Lexus LS 400. I believe currently they are using a 5.9L for the Nascar series...not a huge Nascar fan but I do follow some maybe if im wrong Im sure a more devoted fan will correct me http://www.motortrend.com/features/c.../photo_05.html
