America's Best-Selling Car Tuned Up for 2013 NASCAR Season
Camry Race Car Now Shares More Similarities to Production SiblingToyota Motor Sales, Ú.S.A., Inc. (TMS) and TRD, Ú.S.A. (Toyota Racing Development) today formally introduced the new 2013 Toyota Camry that will compete in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) beginning next season at TRD's Salisbury, N.C. facility.
The introduction of the new 2013 Camry for NASCAR competition marked the culmination of an aggressive redesign to provide the 2013 Camry wîth an updated and more-unique identity. TRD worked together wîth Calty Design, part of Toyota's global network design team, to create an on-track Camry that incorporates design elements which give America's best-selling car its distinct character.
'We're thrilled to finally unveil our new 2013 Camry and we think NASCAR fans will really appreciate that our new on-track Camry looks like the one in their driveways,' said Ed Laukes, TMS vice president of marketing communications and motorsports. 'Our 2013 Camry looks more like the production vehicle than ever before, and we hope this helps revitalize the long-standing relationship between fans and manufacturers in NASCAR. Never before have we had a Camry competing in NASCAR that looked so similar to its production counterpart.'A new front grill-area that matches the production model, distinct character lines down the side of the vehicle and an updated rear bumper make the redesigned 2013 Camry stock car more relevant than ever before to its showroom sibling.

For 10 straight years, and 14 of the past 15 years, the Toyota Camry has been the best-selling car in America. Built at Toyota manufacturing facilities in Georgetown, Kentucky and Lafayette, Indiana, the 2012 Toyota Camry was recently named the 'Best Redesigned Vehicle' by Kelley Blue Book. In addition, the Camry has been named the 'Most American Car' by Cars.com's American-Made Index for three consecutive years.In an effort to create more distinct and stock vehicles for the race track, NASCAR worked together wîth the four series manufacturers to determine what areas were either 'locked in' or 'open' for unique design. NASCAR also allowed for the exchange of glass for solid body pieces.
'When everyone at Toyota first saw the design of the 2013 Camry, the first reaction was, 'They're actually going to let you race a car that looks like that?',' said Andy Graves, TRD's vice president of chassis engineering. 'That just demonstrates how excited everyone was about the new design of the Camry stock car.'
