If you think about it this is just a continuation of Toyota's involvement and comittment to USAC Racing. Since they began the Midget motor program they have been involved and stepped it up every year. This year if you were at the USAC Banquet they passed out a check for $100.00 per race to the top ten Midget owners REGARDLESS of WHAT ENGINE they used. This was the second year for this program. They also picked up the sponsorship for the O.R.P. (Night Before the 500 & G.P.)Races, the Toyota Challenge ($25,000.00 again regardless of engine used) and have you noticed the Toyota pick ups furnished to USAC personnel.
All in all it appears Toyota wants to be a player in Midget, Sprint Car and Silver Crown Racing and is willing to put money in the racer's hands.
