Red Bull Racing announced Wednesday that it has extended its partnership with Toyota in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.

The agreement continues a three-year relationship where Toyota has supported Red Bull Racing’s progression from a start-up organization to a berth in the championship-deciding Chase For The Sprint Cup this season with driver Brian Vickers.
 
“Our partnership with Toyota has been a critical element to the success of Red Bull Racing Team,” said Jay Frye, team vice president and general manager. “Both Red Bull Racing Team and Toyota share a common goal of being a championship-contending team. Toyota has supplied the engine and technical support we need to get our teams into victory lane and now the Chase for the championship. We look forward to the future with Toyota.”

Toyota is not only the team's manufacturer but also its engine supplier.
 
“We look forward to continuing our relationship with Red Bull Racing Team – a member of  our ‘freshman class’ in 2007 when Toyota joined the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series as a manufacturer,” said Lee White, president and general manager for Toyota Racing Development, U.S.A. "We are extremely proud of the team's and Brian's accomplishments, including their first victory and qualifying for the Chase.”
