It pits top Toyota drivers from the NHRA and NASCAR in a build challenge for the 2012 SEMA show. For this contest, the winners are the drivers’ hand-picked charities. This is a great opportunity for you to get an inside look at four build shops — racing against the clock — to get their vehicles onto the SEMA floor.

NASCAR driver Clint Bowyer is taking his Prius to RK Performance Center in Charlotte for a “tekk”nological make-over. NHRA Top Fueler, Antron Brown has enlisted the Motorsports Technical Center in Torrance, CA to build out a Family Dragster Sequoia. Driver of the #18 M&M’s Camry, Kyle Busch, will give a once-stock Camry the “Rowdy” Edition treatment at Detroit Speed, Inc. in Mooresville, NC. Finally, funny car rising star, Alexis DeJoria tackles an off-road Tundra pre-runner. This Tundra will push the team at Racer Engineering in San Jacinto, CA to the limits.
