DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Feb. 18, 2016) – The #toyota Injector at #daytona International Speedway is officially open and will host tens of thousands of enthusiastic NASCAR fans for the #daytona 500 on Sunday, February 21.
The #toyota Injector, a four-level fan entryway filled with #toyota activities, vehicles and displays, is a large part of the #daytona Rising renovation to #daytona International Speedway, intended to build the world’s first motorsports stadium.
“We’re incredibly proud of our #toyota Injector and honored to be the first founding partner of the #daytona Rising project,” said Keith Dahl, General Manager for Motorsports and Asset Management for #toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. “Our Injector allows us to engage with visitors in an environment filled with #toyota activities, information and branding – it gives us the opportunity to bring our message to fans in an inspiring manner.
“Furthermore, this partnership with #daytona reinforces Toyota’s commitment to NASCAR and to motorsports fans, and allows us to showcase that Toyotas are made in America by your neighbors and members of your community,” added Dahl.
In total, the #toyota Injector features more than 166,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor activation space, including:
#toyota was the first founding partner of the #daytona Rising project and committed to an 11-year agreement with #daytona. Toyota's Injector is part of an overall $400 million renovation project at #daytona International Speedway and was completed just prior to 2016 Speedweeks, which will culminate with Sunday’s #daytona 500.
In addition to making news off the track, #toyota will, of course, make news on the track at #daytona this week.
The 2016 #toyota Camry will serve as the official pace car for the #daytona 500, which marks the first race since #toyota and Camry driver Kyle Busch won their first NSCS championship in 2015.
The Camry also paced ‘The Great American Race’ in 2012 and 2015.
The 58th running of the #daytona 500 is on Sunday, February 21 at 1 p.m. ET.
