August 16, 2001Tutt to Make First Start: Georgia Late Model driver, Preston Tutt, will be making his first NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series start on Saturday in the Craftsman 175 at Chicago Motor Speedway. Tutt will be at the wheel of the No. 4 Bobby Hamilton Racing Dodge Motorsports Dodge, as a teammate to Willy T. Ribbs in Dodge's Motorsports Diversity Program.
Tutt's racing background includes Late Model racing at such tracks as Lanier Speedway, Anderson Motor Speedway, and Peachstate Speedway. He also has one All-Pro Series start at the Miami Homestead Speedway in 1998.
"I'm just grateful for the opportunity that Dodge and Bobby Hamilton Racing have given me," said Tutt. "I can't put into words what this means for me and my racing career."
Baker Racing to Pit: For the second race in a row, Baker Racing from the NASCAR Busch Grand National Series will be pit the No. 4 Dodge Motorsports Team.

Crew Chief: Team Manager, Kip McCord, will serve as Tutt's crew chief on the No. 4 Bobby Hamilton Racing Dodge.
This Week's Truck: Tutt will be piloting "King" for Bobby Hamilton Racing at Chicago.
