Toyota Racing announced the winner in the on-line "Sponsafy Your Ride Contest" on Saturday, unveiling the winning design selected from over 77,000 submissions.

The no. 11 Denny Hamlin Toyota Camry called "Praying for Karson" was designed by Fay Knape of Danbury, Texas in honor of her one-year-old grandson, Karson, who suffers from a rare lung disease.

In addition to the grand prize package, Toyota has donated $5,000 to Karson's family to help with his medical costs. Driver Denny Hamlin's charitable foundation plans to make a donation as well.

Toyota driver and team owner Michael Waltrip will take Knape's winning design to the track in June at the Toyota/save Mart 350 at Infineon Raceway.
