NASCAR Trucks: Powers Motorsports enters Craftsman Truck Series

29 January 2001

 
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.
