Toyota Tundras have made three starts at Lowe's Motor Speedway in NCTS events, but have yet to earn a win. Mike Skinner has earned two poles (2005 and 2006) and Tundra drivers have earned a total of three top-five finishes and six top-10 finishes at the speedway with two of the top-five finishes coming in last year's race.

Germain Two, Plus One: Germain Racing will field a third Tundra at Lowe's Motor Speedway as Justin Hobgood will pilot the No. 03 Germain Toyota Tundra.  Hobgood has made three career NCTS starts for Germain with his best start of eighth coming at Richmond (2005) and his best finish of 20th coming at Phoenix (2005).

Tracking Truck Testing: Mike Skinner turned the fastest laps of the recent two-day NASCAR test session (May 10 and 11) at Lowe's Motor Speedway in his Bill Davis Racing Tundra.  Even with those fast laps, Skinner doesn't feel like he'll be a threat for his third career NCTS pole at Lowe's.  "I honestly don't think that we are pole material," Skinner says. "We have not made one qualifying run; we've been totally in race runs, and I don't think our truck is a threat for the pole. But, I think it's definitely a top-five truck for the race."

Tundras on Top: Tundra drivers hold five of the top-seven spots in the NCTS championship point standings.  After five races, Mike Skinner continues to sit atop the point standings.  Tundra drivers trailing Skinner in the standings are Todd Bodine (second), Jack Sprague (fifth), Ted Musgrave (sixth) and Johnny Benson (seventh).

Teaching With Trucks: Two high-achieving students from the Youth Automotive Training Center (YATC) in Broward County, Florida will be on hand at Lowe's this Friday to shadow a crew member. The No. 5 Bill Davis Racing team and the No. 30 Germain Racing team are participating in the program.  The students will experience a unique behind-the-scenes look at the racing industry and participate in the preparations leading up to the evening event.  The non-profit YATC, started by Southeast Toyota's founder Jim Moran in 1984, was developed to train and educate at-risk youth in basic automotive repair skills, academic remediation, job readiness and life management skills.  The goal of this program is to prepare young adults who are at a disadvantage in their lives to become self-sufficient, productive citizens.

Toyota is celebrating its 50th anniversary in the U.S. in 2007. Toyota and its dealers employ about 145,000 workers in the U.S. Toyota operates 11 manufacturing facilities in the U.S. and assembles approximately half the vehicles it sells here.
