The ARCA RE/MAX Series returns for their season opening event at Daytona International Speedway for the 41st annual Advance Discount Auto Parts 200 on February 7, the same-night as the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series Bud Shootout. The race will be covered live on SPEED Channel at 4 pm eastern, Saturday, February 7. Team CLR Racing will be there with driver Shane Hmiel. #57 Team CLR has been busy in the shop since testing with Shane in mid December. Since testing the team has cut the body off of their new 2004 Ford and have turned it into a 2004 Chevy. Shane’s seats have been installed in the cars and final tweaking of the body is being done before the cars head to the paint shop. Chevy power will be under the hood for the first time for Team CLR and the power is being provided by Dale Earnhardt Inc. Another new look for Team CLR at Daytona for the ARCA race will be that they will run with #75 on the door. With DEI Power under the hood and the body hung by some of the best body hangers in NASCAR. Team CLR is looking forward to an exciting trip to Daytona. Team CLR plans on running selected ARCA and Nextel Cup races in 2004. They also hope to participate in some form or another in the Busch series. Many of their plans are dependant upon securing sponsorship.(OTWRacing.com)(1-20-2004)
