Toyota reached a milestone in the NASCAR Cup Series with its 200th victory, achieved when Denny Hamlin won at World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway. Tyler Gibbs, president of TRD, U.S.A., commented on the achievement: “Winning 200 NASCAR Cup Series races is an incredible achievement for everyone at Toyota and TRD, U.S.A. In our nearly two decades of competition in the NASCAR Cup Series, we have been fortunate to partner with outstanding teams and talented drivers, which has allowed us to continue to achieve on-track. Although we will celebrate this accomplishment, everyone at TRD continues to focus on and prepare for the balance of the season as we strive for another Cup Series title.”
