BACE Motorsports driver Tony Raines has shown marked improvement this year, and team co-owner Brian Baumgardner says primary sponsor Bayer/Alka-Seltzer is excited about it. Also just around the corner is a possible sponsorship deal for Chad Little. According to Baumgardner, the team has been told by Bayer/Alka-Seltzer officials that the company’s sponsorship would continue. Little hasn’t fared quite as well on the track as Raines, but is still 10th in the Busch Series standings. After months of negotiations with various potential sponsors, Baumgardner hopes to have something in hand within a couple of weeks, a deal that could begin this season, rather than next.(in part from theWinston Cup Scene – sub needed)(5-31-2001)
