Wow, found this release on NHRA site and bit surprised it hadn't been mentioned here yet ... I suppose this means they'll soon be running Toyota bodies.
Toyota partners with Pedregon Racing for team support: Pedregon Racing has announced a partnership with Toyota for team support including supply of transportation vehicles for the 2007 NHRA POWERade Drag Racing season. Cruz Pedregon, driver of the Advance Auto Parts Funny Car, and Tony Pedregon, pilot of the Q Power Funny Car, will each receive team support vehicles from Toyota.
Toyota will support each team with key product for use throughout the remainder of the 2007 season. This product support includes the Sequoia Full Size SUV and the all-new Tundra CrewMax pick-up truck. The Tundra Full Size CrewMax pick-up is equipped with a 5.7 liter V8 engine which will provide a towing capacity of over 10,000 pounds. While providing a functional addition to the Pedregon Racing teams, this product support will also offer tremendous exposure for the Toyota Tundra and Sequoia models.
"As we are always looking to support racing at all levels, " said Mark Amstock, Toyota's National SUV and Minivan Market Planning Manager. "Toyota is proud to be associated with Pedregon Racing. The NHRA is a great venue to expose the all new Tundra and the Sequoia Full Size SUVs to the NHRA fans where they can see the trucks in action with the team."
