Stacker 2 / GNC Live Well 250

Daytona International Speedway

July 5, 2002

ClosetMaid made a return appearance in Daytona as primary sponsor of the No. 33 Chevrolet piloted by Tony Raines.

Dover and Tony talk with the No. 33 team owner, Brian Baumgardner, on pit wall prior to qualifying under the lights at Daytona International Speedway.

On Friday, thunderstorms covered the 2.5 mile track canceling Winston Cup qualifying and delaying Busch Series Happy Hour.

Even during the rain delay the work continues as Dover prepares shocks for the final practice.

Denny Chandler, engine tuner for the No. 33, closes the hood in preparation for the start of the Stacker 2 / GNC Live Well 250.

Glenn Hilchey closes the window net as Tony prepares to fire the engine on the ClosetMaid Chevrolet.

The No. 33 sheds its familiar blue paint scheme in exchange for the red and white colors of ClosetMaid.

The stands fill with fans prior to the drop of the green flag on the front stretch at Daytona.

Tony is forced down to come down pit road for repairs after involvement in an accident with the No. 26 machine.

Crew members from the No. 33 feverishly work on the front of ClosetMaid Chevrolet.

It may not be pretty but Tony scores his career high finish at a superspeedway, 13th, and finishes on the lead lap.
