Are you ready to watch the 2022 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro race in NASCAR’s Truck Series? Well, we apologize for the bad news. It won’t arrive until next season. But the good news is that you can go ahead and take a look at it now. 

The new Toyota Tundra NASCAR truck will make its competition debut during the season opener at the Daytona International Speedway on February 18. So, at least we don’t have to wait much longer to see this racing truck in action. 

Do Toyota trucks win NASCAR?

Yes, Toyota trucks do exceptionally well in NASCAR races. The new 2022 Toyota Tundra body celebrates the launch of new Tundra models of showroom floors. It also provides a new look for an extremely capable champion. 

Toyota joined the NASCAR Truck Series back in 2004 and has won eight driver championships and 11 manufacturer’s championships. When Ben Rhodes won the season-opening race at Daytona, he achieved the 200th victory for Toyota. 

Paul Doleshal, group manager of motorsports for Toyota Motor North America, shared that the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series has always been extremely crucial for Toyota. It’s not only important for our history but for our focus on our dealerships as well. 

He continued to explain that the launch of the new Toyota Tundra is an exciting time for the entire organization to be able to reflect on the unique styling of the NASCAR Tundra with the TRD Pro badging. 

It serves as a reflection of the importance of the series and allows us to continue ensuring on-track production resembles its production counterparts that can be found in our Toyota showrooms. 

Not only is Toyota is on pace this season to earn its 12th manufacturer’s championship, but six out of the 10 qualifying drivers to earn a spot in the season’s Truck Series playoffs drive Toyota trucks. 

Toyota tries to race vehicles that match production vehicles. That’s why the Toyota Tundra TRD Pro NASCAR truck looks like a miniature version of the full-size beast. Also, Toyota is the only manufacturer to field three different body styles across the three NASCAR series. 

When can you buy a new Tundra?

According to Kyle Busch, NASCAR driver, and owner of Kyle Busch Motorsports, the team is proud to carry Toyota Tundra badging. Toyota and TRD are consistently working with us to ensure we’re as competitive as possible on the race track. 

They also ensure that the body styling of our NASCAR Tundras matches what fans can buy at the dealerships. The new 2022 Toyota Tundra is really aggressive looking, and it’s great to see that reflected in our Tundra TRD Pro models. 

You can purchase the new Toyota Tundra soon. The 2022 models are expected to arrive in showrooms this winter. The official pricing for the new Tundra hasn’t been released, but it’s expected to start at around $35,000.
