Looks like Toyota won't be getting the freezeout by Nascar as some had expected. It's even getting a name driver behind the wheel of one of its new Camry race cars. Michael Waltrip, who recently ended a five-year run with Dale Earnhardt Incorporated — and parted ways with his Chevy — is expanding his own team, Michael Waltrip Racing, to include himself. The team will field two Toyota Camrys, including the new #55 NAPA-sponsored Waltrip car, in 2007. In addition, Team Red Bull and Bill Davis Racing, sponsored by Caterpillar, will run two Camrys each. [Thanks to Peter for the tip.]
