No, Toyota is bringing a lot of money into NASCAR; they are one of the only car manufactures that are not having financial troubles and can invest more money as where the others are having to cut back.

Why would they not be? If you use the argument that NASCAR is for U.S manufacturers then you have no idea where Toyotas are built. Very few models are built and imported from Japan. Most are built in the U.S. where the have plants in Mississippi, Kentucky, Texas and Indiana.

Yes, they do. Toyota has a few multi-car teams in the Sprint Cup Series, which include Joe Gibbs Racing, Red Bull Racing and Michael Waltrip Racing.
