CLAYTON GA (May 8,2001) - Powers Motorsports was excited about unveiling 
their new paint scheme on the #55 Dodge truck this past weekend at Saint 
Louis, Gateway International Raceway. “We have painted both trucks the same 
”said Tom Powers driver of the #55 TRUCKSERIES.COM truck “We are going to 
follow this paint scheme for the remainder of the year or until a full time 
sponsor comes on and then we will paint it to their specs” 
The #55 crew has started to jell, and it seems every race we are more 
prepared than the race before. The Dodge truck passed tech with the new aero 
package with relative ease. Lap speeds in practice were poor and a gear 
change beforequalifying helped us pick up a couple of tenths. 
The#55 POWERS MOTORSPORTS/TRUCKSERIES.COM started 33rd and finished  33rd 22 
laps into the race. “It never would come off turn two” said Tom “and eachl 
ap I could feel it getting weaker and weaker. It finally dropped a cylinder 
so we parked it rather than risk further engine damage”
“We struggled all weekend with horsepower and engine problems,” stated Mike 
Hammerly, acting crew chief on the #55.”The engine is out and on its way to 
the engine shop to prepare it for Darlington” 
Darlington is the 6th race in theNASCAR Craftsman Truck Series schedule and 
the fifth race the POWERSMOTORSPORTS/TRUCKSERIES.COM Dodge truck will attempt 
to qualify for.  
The green flag drops in Darlington on Saturday May 12th at 4 PM. It will be 
the only NASCAR event this weekend in honor of Mothers Day.
