His start in the Carnomaly Toyota Aug. 29 at Daytona International Speedway was his first in the Cup Series since the 2019 season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The 32-year-old from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, was running at the front of the pack in the latter stages of that Daytona race with his fellow Toyota drivers when he was caught up in a multicar accident less than 20 laps from the finish. 96 Carnomaly Toyota Camry will be making GBR's 80th start since joining the Cup Series as a part-time team in 2017 and its seventh start of 2021. Team owner Marty Gaunt's almost two-decades-long relationship with Toyota dates back to his ownership of Toyota-powered Clean Line Racing in the Truck Series, which became Red Horse Racing, as well as his executive role in the formation of Red Bull's nascent Toyota-powered Cup Series team. Gaunt's Toyota ties strengthened after the 2008 season, when he purchased Triad Racing Development, which leased Toyota engines across NASCAR's Cup, Xfinity and Truck series and continues to be NASCAR's exclusive distributor of Toyota parts as Triad Racing. After seven years competing in NASCAR's development divisions, Gaunt stepped up to the NASCAR Cup Series in 2017.
● Sunday's race will be the eighth on the Talladega oval for the GBR Toyota. In April, 20-year-old Harrison Burton took the reins of the GBR Toyota at Talladega in history-making fashion, becoming the first driver born in the 2000s to make a Cup Series start.
