Back in late August, Toyota announced its custom vehicle build-off featuring four of its drivers: Kyle Busch, Clint Bowyer, Antron Brown, and Alexis Dejoria. Each driver has now selected their Toyota vehicle and the shop at which it’ll be built, and the customization has begun.

Each vehicle will be completed by this year’s SEMA Show, when fans will be able to vote for their favorite project. The winning team will be awarded with $50,000 for a charity of their choice.

The build off is well under way and the Japanese automaker has released several videos spotlighting and introducing each driver and their project. Kyle Busch will be building his rendition of a ‘Rowdy Edition Camry’ at Detroit Speed, Inc. while NASCAR driver Clint Bowyer is going green with his ‘Tekked-Out Prius’. Antron Brown, competitor in the NHRA Top Fuel circuit is building a ‘Family Sequoia Dragster’, and lastly, female funny car pilot Alexis Dejoria has teamed up with Racer Engineering to build a Pre-Runner Tundra.

Watch the introduction videos to each driver and their builds below.
