the briefly switched to the No. 32 to accommodate Anthony Lazzaro, who finished 22nd in the race. For 2001, the team had originally with African-American driver Preston Tutt, but the deal fell through. Their first race of the year came at Martinsville Speedway, Jon Wood made his first start in the Mark Warner-sponsored truck, and finished 31st. Derek Gilcrist then drove at Darlington Raceway, and finished seventeenth, followed later by Rick Beebe finishing 30th at Kansas Speedway in the Trailside RV entry. Ballew's No. 15 changed its name to Countryman-Ballew Motorsports, the team improved its standings from 23rd to 14th would run full-time in 2002 with driver Trent Owens and jeans manufacturer Dickies sponsoring the truck. After Owens attempted seven races, he was replaced by Rich Bickle, who had a sixth-place run in his first race. Before the Power Stroke Diesel 200, Dickies had signed a deal to sponsor Bobby Hamilton Racing's No. 18 truck and driver Robert Pressley for the remainder of 2002 and all of 2003, causing the team to go without major sponsorship. Mark Gibson returned for two races, followed by Brian Rose before Andy Houston finished out the year. Houston was signed for 2003 with Vokal Clothing sponsoring. Houston had a top-five finish at Daytona, but was released after five races, and Bickle returned with a top-ten finish. Mike Skinner then drove for four races as the team switched to Dodge for various races. After separate three-race runs by Ryan Hemphill and Robby Benton, Bickle returned to run Fords and had two twelfth-place runs. In 2004, Ballew switched to Chevrolet and hired Shane Hmiel to drive the truck full-time, with sponsorship from Small's Harley-Davison, Whittaker Farms, and later Trim Spa. Hmiel would bring Ballew his first Truck Series win at the Las Vegas 350, passing Todd Bodine late in the race. Hmiel moved to the Busch Series in 2005, and Kerry Earnhardt was originally hired to drive the 15, and won the pole for the season-opening race in the Kraft Foods truck, but was replaced after two races for Hmiel. Kyle Busch and ditech then took the truck, and won his first two races in the ride. Blake Feese, Martin Truex Jr., Kenny Wallace, Johnny Sauter, and David Gilliland ran one-race deals for the team, and John Andretti had two top-tens in four races. Busch finished out the season, and added another win at Atlanta. In
