Are nascar drivers getting LFA's ? Saw the cribs episode a few years ago with Denny Hamlins house. Showed his cars including his mac'd out LS 460 that he gets to drive free from Toyota. Wonder if they are getting free LFA's as well for all the Nascar drivers that drive for Toyota.
Don't think they'll get one for free. Maybe buy one though! Wonder if Scott Pruett is getting one, seeing as how he's always driving at the events. He used to drive a Lexus powered Daytona Prototype, Lexus has since stepped out of GrandAm racing, now he drives the car with a BMW engine.
In circles ('ovals') at that. Kyle was to get a test with the Toyota F1 team a couple years back, but since he placed above 8th or something in Nationwide series, he couldn't partake of the test, conflicting days. He was kinda upset about that to say the least.

I asked him pretty recently and he said no. Scott Pruett is a man of many makes. He is a long time admirer of Toyota and Lexus. Even if Chip Ganassi uses other makes to power their race cars (Mopar, BMW, and etc) for NASCAR or Daytona Prototypes, you can be assured that Scott will drive the hell out of that car, especially the LFA...or a CT!

ummmmm we are talking about 2 guys Hamlin and busch who get paid millions to drive a toyota every Sunday on the most popular racing circuit on the planet. Not some Joe Schmoe off the street or a washed up ex racer now a test driver Scott Pruett.
You even follow sports car racing, at all? Nascar is nice, but it's not the most popular. That belongs to F1. People love Nascar here in America. People love F1 here in America, Europe, Asia, South America etc. F1 is a WORLD championship. Anyway, Scott Pruett is anything but washed up. He won Grand Am's championship last year, hell, he's won more races in G.A. than anyone else. Set the record for most wins, one every race but 1 in a single season. Dude has plenty of accolades.
