The Car of Tomorrow suits Toyota

Five Toyotas qualified for the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway, the most Toyotas for a Cup race to date this season.
Dave Blaney, Dale Jarrett, Jeremy Mayfield, A.J. Allmendinger and Brian Vickers qualified for the Bristol race, the first race for NASCAR's Car of Tomorrow. With all the complaints surrounding the Car of Tomorrow, it gave Toyota its biggest contingent in a Cup race.
The Car of Tomorrow will be used again for this weekend's Cup race at Martinsville Speedway.
“For the short tracks I don’t think the new car is going to make that big of a difference,” said Blaney, driver of the No. 22 Toyota for Bill Davis Racing. “When you come to these places like Martinsville, we always work on mechanical balance and grip, and that’s not changing much with this car.”
Jarrett said the Car of Tomorrow is creating too much of a fuss.
“They’re just race cars,” said Jarrett, driver of the No. 44 Toyota for Michael Waltrip Racing. “There’s a lot being said about the COT, but the only thing you need to do is find out how to make it faster.”
