After two years of competing with NASCAR's Gen-6 cars in the Sprint Cup Series, Toyota will be the first manufacturer to debut an updated version of its entry, unveiled the 2015 Camry race car here at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Saturday afternoon.
Just as the 2013 models unveiled by Chevrolet, Ford and Toyota more closely resembled vehicles sold on the showroom floor than their predecessors, the 2015 Camry that will be on the race track remains true to its production counterpart.
In some ways, the similarities between the two vehicles are even more pronounced.
With NASCAR banning individual team testing beginning next season, Toyota officials and teams will be busy shaking down the new entry in the coming weeks. Toyota officials said tests are currently scheduled for Phoenix, Auto Club Speedway and Charlotte in the coming weeks.
Joe Gibbs Racing and Michael Waltrip Racing field Toyota entries for five Sprint Cup teams. That number will grow to six next season when JGR expands to a four-car outfit with Carl Edwards joining current drivers Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin and Matt Kenseth. MWR's stable currently consists of drivers Clint Bowyer and Brian Vickers.
