CAP SPONSORS NASCAR BUSCH SERIES #46

On January 15, 2002 the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) announced a multi-year agreement as the primary sponsor of the NASCAR Busch Series No. 46 Lewis Motorsports Chevrolet.

As primary sponsor, the CAP hopes to increase awareness of their three primary missions: Cadet Programs, Aerospace Education, and Emergency Services.

The Lewis Motorsports team is a family owned and managed team. Ashton's brother, Charlie Lewis is the crew chief.

Lewis Motorsports began in September of 1999 as a venture between father, Ashton Lewis Sr., and his two sons. Lewis Motorsports made their debut in 2000 by running a limited NASCAR Busch Series, Grand National Division Schedule.

In 2001, Lewis Motorsports ran a full NASCAR Busch Series schedule in an effort to gain valuable seat time for driver Ashton Lewis Jr. and a young and eager crew, posting two top-five finishes (Kentucky and Lowe's), three top-10s, seven top 15s, 14 top-20s and eight top-10 qualifying efforts.

The first five races for 2002 are:
  • Feb. 16 - EAS/GNC Live Well 300 at Daytona International Speedway (debut race)

  • Feb. 23 - RBC Insurance 200 at North Carolina Speedway

  • Mar. 2 - Sam's Town 300 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway

  • Mar. 16 - DarlingtonRaceway.com 200 at Darlington Raceway

  • Mar. 23 - Channellock 250 at Bristol Motor Speedway
