Don't Toyota (nee Lexus) run in the Craftsman Truck series in the USA with a pushrod V8 powerplant?

It's kinda sad that this was announced today, cause they would be a really good addition to the series.

You never know, it might be confirmed tomorrow, but I won't hold my breath.

I would have thought it was as likely as Smart becoming the third manufacturer.

It's after midday - the April fool's joke can stop surely

Toyota can sell as many Lexus as they care to make without the need to promote them in V8 racin'.

Perhaps they would make more money if they raced their poor cousin Diahatsu.

Or perhaps the whole poor cousin link would work better in nascar?

Who knows?

But I do know what day it is......

Toyota run in NASCAR, and how much different (in Specs) is the current Falcadore V8 racing? Pity it's a joke..no wait..oh yes it is.

As if Toyota would pit their Lexus brand against lowly Holdens and Fords - completely unbelievable.

One of the lamer April Fools pranks...

Indeed. I wish I said that.....

Next April 1st...... Toyota rename their F1 team Lexus F1.

Toyota got the idea from Ford who bought a team from a canny scot and called it Jaguar to promote their top of the range vehicles....

Now that's a load of bull..... Red Bull...
