A CUP FOR SKINNER:  Skinner, a NASCAR veteran with 244 NNCS starts to his credit, will attempt to make his first start in a Toyota Camry in Sunday's Pep Boys Auto 500 at Atlanta.  Skinner tried to qualify for the season-opening Daytona 500.  If he makes the field this weekend, it will be his first NNCS start since Martinsville last October. TESTING TOYOTAS:  Following Sunday's race, all three Toyota NNCS teams -- Bill Davis Racing, Michael Waltrip Racing and Team Red Bull -- are scheduled to participate in a two-day, NASCAR-sanctioned test at Atlanta Motor Speedway.   Teams

FOR ST. JUDE CHILDREN:  This weekend, all three  NBS Camrys will participate in the 'Design a Dream' paint scheme campaign to promote awareness for the children at St. Jude Children's Hospital.  The goal of the 'Design a Dream' campaign is to have these children at the hospital design the race car paint schemes for all participants.  "Cover Race Cars with the Color of Hope" is the official message of the 'Design a Dream' campaign.  "These children designed the Aaron's Dream Machine Toyota Camry and several of the other race cars for this event," says Reutimann. "When we race at Memphis, we 're not only providing awareness for St. Jude Children's Hospital, but Aaron's -- who is a big supporter of children's charities -- will also continue to send one child to Victory Junction Gang Camp."

TUNDRA TAKES TITLE:  Skinner's victory last weekend at Martinsville Speedway enabled Toyota to capture its second consecutive NCTS manufacturer's championship.  Five Tundra teams have combined for 11 victories, 51 top-fives and 81 top-10 finishes -- and helped Toyota clinch the title with four races remaining in the season.  Since joining the series in 2004, Tundras have scored 36 wins and 47 poles in 96 races.  In addition to the manufacturer's titles in 2006 and 2007, Tundra driver Todd Bodine won the 2006 driver's championship.

SKINNER IS A WINNER:  "It started in February when Jack Sprague won the race in Daytona," says Skinner.  "Johnny Benson has won three races and we were fortunate to win some races too.  Todd Bodine has won a couple races so it's not any one team that can win this thing.  Toyota is really good about giving information to all the race teams -- our stuff is really equal and you can see that every week.  I want to thank Toyota for allowing us to be a part of this program."

TOYOTA TITLE TALK:  "Winning a second manufacturer's championship is a testament to the outstanding race teams that Toyota has been associated with in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, as well as the extremely talented Tundra drivers," said Jim Aust, vice president - motorsports, Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.  "Although we've expanded our NASCAR involvement to include the NEXTEL Cup and Busch Series this season, we recognize the popularity and value of the Craftsman Truck Series and our commitment to the series has never wavered.  Winning this manufacturer's title during the same month as Toyota's 50th anniversary in the United States makes it even more special."

TUNDRA TALK:  After 21 of 25 races this season, five Tundra drivers are currently in the top-10 in the NCTS point standings.  With his win at Martinsville, Skinner regained the championship lead and currently sits 11 points in front of Ron Hornaday.  Tundra drivers Bodine (fourth), Johnny Benson (fifth), Ted Musgrave (seventh) and Jack Sprague (10th) are chasing Skinner in the standings.

TOP TUNDRAS IN 2007:  Tundras have won 11 races and scored 15 poles in the 2007 NCTS season.  Skinner leads the way with a series-high five wins (California, Atlanta, Martinsville, Kentucky and Martinsville-2) and nine poles (Atlanta, Martinsville, Kansas, Charlotte, Mansfield, Dover, Milwaukee, Nashville and Gateway).  Benson has three wins (Milwaukee, Bristol and Gateway), while Bodine won from the pole at both Texas and Talladega.  Sprague was victorious in the season- opener at Daytona from the pole, and scored his second pole of the season last weekend at Martinsville.  Brad Keselowski (Memphis) and Ryan Mathews (Kentucky) each have one pole each for Toyota.

RED HORSE REUNION:  Brandon Whitt will make his first NCTS start in nearly two years this weekend at Atlanta, driving the No. 1 Red Horse Racing Tundra.  Whitt drove for the team in its inaugural season in 2005, scoring one win (Memphis) and two poles (Memphis and Phoenix).  Saturday's race will be Whitt's 58th-career NCTS start.  "It's going to be a big landmark for me and my career," says Whitt.  "It's been awhile since I've been in a race in a truck.  I've been testing some Cup cars over the past year-and-a-half and did some ARCA racing, but to come back and run in the trucks is definitely going to be a challenge.  I'm coming in with the confidence of being with a team like Red Horse Racing and I think we can pick up right where we left off in 2005."

THE FUTURE IS NOW:  Joe Gibbs Racing development driver Joey Logano was victorious in Saturday's NASCAR Toyota All-Star Showdown at Irwindale (Calif.) Speedway.  Logano, a 17-year-old rookie, bested the 40-car field comprised of drivers from NASCAR's Grand National Busch East and West Series competing in a 250-lap short-track shootout.
