Gibbs, Toyota join forces for 2012

Joe Gibbs Racing and Toyota Racing Development will join forces in a single engine programme to build NASCAR Toyota units from 2012. The leading Toyota outfit had been reviewing its engine programe following reliability issues that have hampered its this season, but instead of scrapping its own effort, JGR will add to the strengths of the TRD-built units. Joe Gibbs Racing drivers have suffered from repeated failures during the year, not only in races but also during practice sessions.
