After a successful inaugural event in 2023, TRD recently hosted the second annual Global Simulation Summit in North Carolina. The 2024 Global Simulation Summit once again brought together simulation leaders and engineers from across the globe to share their experiences and challenges in the field of simulation. Attendees had the opportunity to learn, discuss, and connect with one another about the current state of simulation technology, opportunities for strategic collaboration, and the future of dynamic vehicle simulation.

Meet Kim Juniper, Senior Manager, Supply Chain at Toyota Racing Development (TRD). Kim has spent her entire career with TRD, and is very grateful for the experience. She has cultivated strategic relationships with colleagues, suppliers and our race teams to prioritize accurate allocations and resources, all while adhering to strict internal protocols to achieve TRD’s stated goals and objectives. Kim is responsible for TRD's complete supply and demand operations for NASCAR, GT and Commercial Racing, oversees the Planning & Purchasing Team and controls the warehouses in both California and North Carolina.

Thank you for everything, Martin! Statement on Martin Truex Jr. from David Wilson, president, TRD U.S.A. “Martin has been a fierce competitor, champion and loyal friend to Toyota and TRD for over a decade. He is the only NASCAR driver to win Cup races in a Toyota Camry across three different race team organizations – a remarkable achievement. His genuine personality and consistent performance have made him a fan favorite and someone who will truly be missed on-track each week. Martin’s racing achievements highlight just how talented of a racer he is, and his outstanding work off-track with the Martin Truex Jr. Foundation showcases the incredible person he continues to be. Martin is a future Hall of Famer, and someone we will always be honored to call a part of the Team Toyota family.” #TeamToyota Joe Gibbs Racing
