#14 Crew Chief:

Ray Stonkus, has joined the #14 Milwaukee Electric Tool/Circle Bar race team. The move is somewhat of a reunion for most involved in the Circle Bar Racing organization. Rick Crawford, who has driven for Circle Bar over the past nine seasons, and Stonkus, worked together in the All-Pro Series back in 1995. This too, was a driver/crew chief combo under the Circle Bar Racing banner. Ray is a 40-year racing veteran who most recently worked as a crew chief for Kevin Lepage of the BGN. For the past five years Ray has worked in the BGN, mostly with the #59 ST Motorsports race team. Milwaukee Electric Tool returns as primary sponsor of the #14 Circle Bar Ford and the team will continue to utilize Roush manufactured horsepower next season. Stonkus is right about one thing, the pieces are there for a very good team to be even better in 2001(Milwaukee Electric Tool Team PR)(11-27-2000)
