Toyota Notes & Quotes
NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series
Kentucky Speedway - July 10, 2004

THIS RACE: This will be the fifth visit to Kentucky Speedway for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series
(NCTS). Six Toyota Tundras are entered in the Kentucky race.

LAST RACE: In the most recent NCTS race at the Kansas Speedway (July 3), several Tundra drivers ran
among the race leaders, but only Travis Kvapil registered a top-10 finish. Kvapil started ninth
in his No. 24 Bang Racing Line-X Tundra and worked his way into third-place, before coming
together with Jack Sprague while battling for second. The defending NCTS champion
recovered from the contact to finish seventh. Mike Skinner, David Reutimann and Bill Lester
also ran among the leaders in the first half of the event. Eventually, Skinner finished 12th,
while contact forced Lester (28th) and Reutimann (29th) from the race.

POINTS PACE: After 10 races, three Toyota drivers are among the top-15 in the NCTS championship
standings. Travis Kvapil is eighth in the standings with 1300 points, 227 points behind current
leader Dennis Setzer. Mike Skinner, Kvapil's Bang Racing teammate, is 11th in the standings
(1270 points) and rookie David Reutimann sits 14th in the standings (1163 points). Reutimann
also tops the Raybestos Rookie-of-the-Year standings by 11 points over Tracy Hines.

LEARNING: Lee White, group vice president of Toyota Racing Development, Inc., talked about Toyota's first
NCTS season to date following the Kansas race. "We're making progress and we're learning,"
said White. We're learning what we can offer that's of real tangible benefit at the racetrack, and
the teams are learning more how to capitalize on the data that we can bring them."

P.M. IS RIGHT: Bang Racing teammates Travis Kvapil and Mike Skinner have had a great deal of success in
the NCTS races that have taken place in the evening this season. In the four night races --
Daytona, Charlotte, Texas and Milwaukee -- Kvapil has three top-10 finishes in his Tundra and
Skinner has two top-15 results. Kvapil has finished second (Daytona), fifth (Milwaukee) and
eighth (Charlotte). Skinner has finished 11th (Texas) and 15th (Charlotte). In addition, Skinner has
led the field in the night races at Daytona, Charlotte and Texas, and Kvapil has led the field at
Daytona and Milwaukee.

KVAPIL IN KY: Travis Kvapil has recorded two top-10 finishes in three NCTS starts at Kentucky Speedway. In 2001,
Kvapil finished fourth after starting 18th, and last year he finished sixth after qualifying 10th.

2 TOP-15: Bill Lester has recorded two top-15 finishes in his two NCTS starts at Kentucky Speedway. In
2003, Lester qualified ninth and finished 12th, completing all 150 laps. Two years ago, Lester
qualified third and finished 14th, completing 149 of 150 laps.

HANK'S PAST: Hank Parker Jr. has made one NCTS start and two Busch Series starts at Kentucky Speedway. In his
only NCTS start at the track one year ago, Parker Jr. started 21st and finished 11th, completing all 167
laps. It was just his third career NCTS race. "I'm anxious to get to Kentucky," says Parker. "That's a
great track to race on and I'm looking forward to racing my Tundra there."
