Getty Images for NASCARRoush has been fervent in his stance that only American automakers should be permitted to compete in NASCAR, and even though Toyota has been doing business in the U.S. for 50 years and has 150,000 employees here, he still resents the inclusion of a Japanese automaker. Roush even referenced Pearl Harbor several years ago when discussing Toyota’s arrival in NASCAR.
After years of public silence, Toyota is finally pushing back a bit, both on and off the track.
High-ranking TRD official Lee White got things rolling when he intimated the Roush team intentionally cheated during Carl Edwards’ win in Las Vegas. White, by the way, is a former Roush employee and the two didn’t exactly part best of friends.
Naturally, Roush went ballistic when he learned of White’s accusations, and responded with several new rants that voiced his Toyota displeasure. During one of those talks he let it let slip that a Toyota team had stolen a Roush part and maybe even tried to glean trade secrets during the time it was in its possession.
Waltrip copped to the caper, but insisted the swaybar accidentally landed in his possession. TRD said it knew nothing of the thievery, and backed out of the dispute by referring all questions to the parties involved.
TRD isn’t totally off the hook.
While investigating the Waltrip incident, it found it also had a Roush part in its possession following the race at California but said they it was promptly returned upon discovery. That was likely little consolation to Roush, who is proving Toyota is his No. 1 nemesis and can’t stand to watch the automaker’s sudden success with the shining stars at Joe Gibbs Racing.
This feud won’t likely end anytime soon, not with Gibbs cars running out front and not with Toyota battling for wins against Roush’s Fords.
Still, it’s just one of the many problems Roush will have this season. But, hey, at least McMurray is no longer one of them.
