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.
