MADISON, Ill. (September 7, 2025) – With Denny Hamlin’s win at World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway, Toyota has earned its 200th NASCAR Cup Series victory.
“Winning 200 NASCAR Cup Series races is an incredible achievement for everyone at Toyota and TRD, U.S.A.,” said Tyler Gibbs, president, TRD, U.S.A. “In our nearly two decades of competition in the NASCAR Cup Series, we have been fortunate to partner with outstanding teams and talented drivers, which has allowed us to continue to achieve on-track. Although we will celebrate this accomplishment, everyone at TRD continues to focus on and prepare for the balance of the season as we strive for another Cup Series title.”
