Bill Lester will be Dodge Motorsports driver in the CTS in 2002. Lester, 40, an engineer who made a late career switch to professional motorsports after a long stint in amateur road racing, has six career starts in the CTS and will run for the CTS Raybestos Rookie of the Year in 2002 while driving for Bobby Hamilton Racing. Reportedly, in the original driver tryout for the diversity seat, Lester was the quickest candidate who tested at Nashville Speedway USA, but Dodge opted to go with the more well-known Willy T.
