ToyotaToyota plans to build an engineering and chassis facility in close proximity to its NASCAR teams.

The facility would employ about 40 people and sit on part of an 89-acre site in Salisbury, N.C., said Toyota Racing Development CEO Jim Aust. The company unveiled its plan to Rowan County (N.C.) leaders on Monday night.

The Salisbury facility will not be completed for a couple of years, Aust said.

Toyota Racing Development has about 25 people working in a facility in nearby High Point, N.C., near Bill Davis Racing. Those employees would move to the Salisbury facility, which will employ about 40 people.

    I’m a chevy girl all the way, but you have to remember Toyota does sponsor Nascar now. If you watch it then you are helping support it.
