The Enquirer - Time for Toyota's NASCAR initiation

The Enquirer - Time for Toyota's NASCAR initiation:

"Toyota will make its highly anticipated NASCAR debut tonight in the Budweiser Shootout at Daytona International Speedway. There are two Camrys in the 21-car exhibition event, including the one Dale Jarrett will start from the pole after winning a blind draw.
'I'll be glad to finally get into those race conditions to see where we stack up and see how we can compete,' Jarrett said. Because the Shootout is an all-star event for 2006 pole winners and past event winners, Jarrett and Brian Vickers are the only drivers from Toyota's seven-car fleet participating.
'It's the first entry of a non-American manufacturer, so it's going to be a historical day,' Dodge car owner Ray Evernham said."
