CENTRAL CITY, KY (December 20,
2004) - With an eye towards the future, Brewco
Motorsports is pleased to announced the addition
of Aaron Fike into the Brewco Motorsports stable.
Two-time National Midget Driver of the Year, Fike
will team with Greg Biffle in the #66 Team Brewco
Ford in fifteen Busch Series races in 2005.
Duraflame, The United States Postal Service, and
Royal Office Products will provide sponsorship for
Fike's program. The 2005 season will be Fike's
second year in the NASCAR Busch Series after
making twelve starts with Curb-Agajanian in 2004.
"We have had our eye on Aaron for a
few months, and he is a driver with a tremendous
amount of raw talent," said Clarence Brewer, owner
of Brewco Motorsports. "We have had a successful
team in the NASCAR Busch Series for over ten years
and have learned a thing or two in that time.
Aaron has the talent, we all can see that. Our
hope is to teach him how to be a winning stock-car
driver both on and off the track. We expect him
to be a part of the BMI family for years to come."
"I am thankful for the opportunity
that Clarence Brewer, Todd Wilkerson, and everyone
at Brewco have given me," said Fike. "I have
looked up to David Green for many years and was in
awe the first time I met him at a rookie meeting
last year. Now that I have the opportunity to
team-up with him and Greg Biffle, I can hardly
believe it. I cannot wait to get started."
Brewco has had a very busy
off-season at its Central City, Kentucky
headquarters. An already announced switch to
Fords for 2005 has its team converting its entire
fleet over to the Ford bodies and welcoming the
addition of Duraflame, Royal Office, Biffle, and
Fike to its existing team of Kleenex, USPS, and
David Green. "This has been quite an interesting
and exciting off-season," said Todd Wilkerson,
President of Brewco. "It seems like everything is
new. The cars, the engines, a couple of new
drivers. Even David Green is in a new car with a
new sponsor for him. We are really looking
forward to 2005."
Aaron will join both drivers in an
intensive testing program that will help acclimate
Brewco to the Ford and the different wrinkles in
the NASCAR Busch Series rule book in 2005. The
2005 Busch Series kicks off with the Hershey's
Kisses 300 at the Daytona International Speedway
on February 19, 2005.
