Was he driving a Toyota?
Yrah, I believe it was a Toyota.
I believe that's what the article said. And I thought, "Toyota funny car? No wonder it blew up."
When it comes to Funny Cars, the body is (rather loosely) based on a certain manufacturer's body style, but other than sponsorship money, that's about it for factory involvement. Yes, the car was a Toyota. But I doubt that anything inside that car was actually made by Toyota.
