For the fourth time in its history, Toyota has won the NASCAR Cup Series Manufacturers\u2019 Championship on the strength of 18 wins so far this season. It marks Toyota\u2019s first Cup Series manufacturers\u2019 title and most single season wins since 2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur team members at TRD, along with our partners at 23XI Racing, Joe Gibbs Racing and LEGACY MOTOR CLUB, have delivered at the highest level all season,\u201d said Tyler Gibbs, president, TRD, U.S.A. \u201cThis is a very important title for Toyota and TRD because it represents the teamwork, effort and passion of countless people across our organization and throughout our teams. We couldn\u2019t be more pleased to have that work pay off with our fourth manufacturers\u2019 title.\u201d<\/p>\n
From Tyler Reddick\u2019s record-breaking start of the season to Corey Heim\u2019s early career breakthrough and Denny Hamlin\u2019s regular season leading efforts, 2026 has been a memorable season that Team Toyota will look back fondly on for years to come.<\/p>\n
Hamlin has earned the most points for Toyota this season with another stellar year. The record-breaking Toyota driver earned four wins and the No. 1 seed in the post-season for the first time in his career, while 23XI Racing\u2019s Reddick kicked off the season claiming Toyota\u2019s first Daytona 500 victory since 2020, before tallying five additional wins this year.<\/p>\n
His teammate and Toyota Development Driver, Heim, continued his superstar trajectory by winning multiple times on a part-time schedule. He claimed his first NASCAR points-paying victory on an active Naval Base at San Diego in June before adding the crown jewel Brickyard 400 win in July.<\/p>\n
Ty Gibbs also won for the first time, claiming wins at Bristol and Iowa. His teammate, Chase Briscoe, is impressive in his second season at Joe Gibbs Racing with multiple intermediate victories \u2013 including consecutive wins in The Chase at Las Vegas and Charlotte \u2013 while Christopher Bell continued his up-front consistency, winning a Crown Jewel race at Darlington Raceway and looks likely to score his fifth consecutive top-five finish in the point standings.<\/p>\n
