Winston Cup driver Hut Stricklin will drive the No. 93 Dodge in 2002, and will take sponsor Hills Bros. Coffee with him, team owner Bill Davis said Friday at Phoenix International Raceway. Stricklin, who has driven Junie Donlavey's No. 90 Ford during the 2001 campaign, was replaced this weekend at PIR by Rick Mast.
Crew chief Phillipe Lopez, long rumored to be going with Stricklin and Hills Bros., has yet to join the 93 team, Davis said.
TAKE IT TO THE BANK
A source with a championship caliber team told NASCAR.com Friday that officials at Homestead-Miami Speedway were entertaining the possibility of adding banking to the turns of the flat, 1.5-mile oval, to improve the quality of racing.
