When Toyota entered NASCAR\u2019s premier series in 2007, the manufacturer was concerned more about making races than winning 200 of them.<\/p>\n
In its first year, Toyota drivers suffered through nearly 100 failed qualifying attempts \u2014 but the lack of speed didn\u2019t dissuade Joe Gibbs Racing from signing with the automaker for the 2008 season despite its drivers\u2019 concerns.<\/p>\n
