2016

TRD president David Wilson addresses the media after the milestone triumph and says, "This is the greatest race in America. For our company to have won it makes it that special. I think most of you have heard the reason that we came into the sport was to connect with the American fans, to talk about how we build every Camry in America, [how] Camry was named the most American made car. So I still remember what resonated my first time here in 2007 – this moniker, 'The Great American Race.' As we were looking at why we should come into NASCAR, that was a big part of it – to have a shot at winning 'The Great American Race,' [and] to be able to talk to the incredible, powerful fan base that NASCAR has. How do you quantify the value? It's truly stunning and special."

September: Martin Truex Jr. guides his Camry to victory lane at South Carolina's Darlington Raceway, marking Toyota's seventh-straight victory in NASCAR's four 'Crown Jewel' events. The win streak began with Carl Edwards's victory in the 2015 Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway and continued through: Kyle Busch's and Toyota's first Brickyard 400 win at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in July 2015; Edwards' win at Darlington in September 2015; Denny Hamlin and Toyota's first Daytona 500 in February 2016; Truex's dominant Coca-Cola 600 win in May 2016; and Busch's repeat win at Indianapolis in July 2016 prior to Truex's Darlington win.
