Yeah, if it was stuck on at the factory and gets sent to a non-US country and to different store chain, the local branch of Hasbro should correct that if they are aware of it (like they did with the Fox Kids logo on Beast Machines toys - the local branch stuck green stickers over it).
Fortunately for TRU, the 'only at Target(logo)' was insignificant enough for them to even notice, otherwise they would have pulled off the stickers when shelving them.

For you guys who dont have a good knowledge of NASCAR, the three wreckers are Chevrolet Impalas.
The #88 Dale Earnhardt Jnr AMP (Roadbuster) and #48 Jimmie Johnson Lowes (Top Spin) are from powerhouse team Hendrick Motorsport.
Jimmie Johnson is 5 time reigning champion (5 in a row)
The #42 Juan Pablo Montoya Target (Leadfoot) is run by Earnhardt Ganassi.
Hendrick Motorsport field 2 other cars in the NASCAR field:
The #24 Jeff Gordon Dupont car and #5 Mark Martin Kelloggs car.
It is definitely product placement that these wreckers were chosen
Firstly GM as other cars race in NASCAR - Ford Fusion, Dodge Charger and Toyota Camry.
AMP is owned by Pepsi Co in USA and Lowes is a massive hardware chain.
I assume Target would have pushed heavily and paid $$ to have this car in the movie.
Everything would have been done to cash in on the Movie.
