The Powers Motorsports CraftsmanTruck Team will be entered in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Race Scheduled to run on February 16, 2001. The official NASCAR designated number will be #55.

Although failing to qualify in the final race of the season at California, the team is confident it has found some more horsepower over the winter months. Earl Ramey of High Tech Engines of Mooresville NC is the engine builder. Brian Berry of PERC engines of Denver NC will remain crewchief.

Several potential associate sponsors have been signed on and will be announced in Daytona, but the search for a primary sponsor goes on.Several companies have expressed interest, but contracts have not been finalized. Plans for a full season of racing and a run for Rookie of The Year will not be finalized until a full time sponsor has been found.

The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Seriesoffers excellent marketing opportunities with 24 events spanning 9 months from coast to coast.
