Lexus in the Grand AM Racing League
Through its luxury division, Lexus, Toyota began supplying engines to the Grand American Sports Car series in 2004. The 4.3-litre V8 used in American versions of the Lexus GS, SC and LS models proved an immediate success, with Scott Pruett claiming the drivers’ title and his Chip Ganassi Racing team also claiming championship honours.
In 2006, Lexus achieved its first victory in the 24 Hours of Daytona, with Dan Wheldon, Scott Dixon and Casey Mears sharing the driving.
