Raines still looking:

  • Tony Raines, a rookie of the year candidate in the Nextel Cup last season, remains without a ride after his BACE Motorsports decided not to run another season without sponsorship. Raines said he would like to remain at BACE if a sponsor is found. Otherwise, he will look at other options as they become available. BACE fields the #74 Chevy. “I want to get in a good car,” Raines said. “I believe I can win races in any of the series in NASCAR. I’ve won Truck races and I’ve come really close in Busch. We had a great operations going there, but right now it’s not operating. They’re not happy about it. I’m not happy about it. (But) you have to keep going. You can’t wait on the world, because it doesn’t stop.”(ThatsRacin.com)(2-21-2004)
