Scott Riggs will drive the No. 36 Toyotas for the new Sprint Cup team at Tommy Baldwin Racing. Riggs, 38, drove for Haas-CNC Racing (now Stewart Haas Racing) in 2008.
“I look forward to working with Tommy,” Riggs said. “I think we can work together to build something really strong. I feel fortunate to work with someone like Tommy who has so much experience.”
No sponsor has been named for the team.
The ‘09 season finds the 38-year-old native of Bahama, N.C., eager to embark on a new chapter of his racing career, driving for the newly formed TBR. Tommy Baldwin, who will hold the title of both owner and crew chief, announced the formation of his new race team earlier this month.
Riggs, with multiple years of experience at the Cup level and time behind the wheel in NASCAR’s new car, brings credibility and marketability to the new team. TBR plans on competing in the Daytona 500 in February with plans to run a full schedule in the Cup Series.
“Having Scott Riggs on board is a huge stepping stone for Tommy Baldwin Racing,” Baldwin said. “He’s a top-caliber driver and I look forward to seeing the success we can have together.”
