Team Amick Motorsports announced that its top priority for the remainder of 2001 will be to conduct an “extensive re-engineering” effort fully capable of fielding two state-of-the-art Busch teams in the 2002 NASCAR season. While the team plans to run a limited schedule of races this year, Amick’s management will devote most of its attention to testing and refining its technology and design, in what the team calls “a new quest for excellence.” “We are making a major investment in quality engineering” team owner Bill Amick said. “Our plan is to focus as much time as possible this year to refining our engines, developing twenty-first century technology and fielding a world-class stable of cars that will set new standards for precision and excellence in stock car racing.” Amick said his strategy is designed to win races and to impress sponsors with the team’s commitment to the business of racing. “Sponsors are looking for a solid return on their investment,” Amick said. “We believe the key to that return is making a total commitment to quality in every phase of racing technology, from the hood to the exhaust pipe.” Team Amick Motorsports also plans to refine its human resources as well as its technology. “The driver and the rest of the crew must perform with the same precision as the best engines. An important part of re-engineering will be to make certain that our people as well as our cars do the right thing, the right way at the right time.” Amick said he will begin recruiting sponsors now for the 2002 season. “We are seeking sponsors for next year who share our view that a total commitment to quality will give this racing team a winning edge. The return on investment we seek can be expressed in two words: winning races,” Amick said. “That’s what excites us, and that what we are committed to.”(Amick PR)(4-17-2001)
