Scott Riggs Express Notes, No. 09 Ford Fusion NASCAR Nationwide Series Nashville Superspeedway, Race No. 5

Former Nashville Winner: In just six starts at Nashville Superspeedway (4 NASCAR Nationwide, 2 Camping World Truck Series), Scott Riggs has three wins. The Bahama, NC native has also led 344 laps and captured one pole.

Points Check: Following a DNQ at Bristol Motor Speedway, the No. 09 RAB Racing team still holds tight to a top-25 position in the 2010 NASCAR Nationwide Series point standings. Scott Riggs is 22nd in driver points and Robby Benton, owner of the No. 09 Ford Fusion is currently 21st; only 22 markers outside the top-15.

“Sponsor Scott” Fan Car: Scott Riggs fans came together just over two weeks ago to show their support for the veteran driver by “Sponsoring Scott”. This was a unique opportunity to get your name in the fast lane for the Nashville 300 this weekend. There were different levels of sponsorship but over 75 dedicated fans raised more than $30,000 through various efforts including a “Chicken Plate Fundraiser” sponsored by Scott’s old school mates from the Durham, NC area. Fellow NASCAR Nationwide Series driver, Justin Allgaier and his family also stepped up to help the 39-year-old driver and the entire RAB Racing team.

Easter Eggstravaganza: Scott Riggs will join other NASCAR Nationwide Series drivers and media for an Easter Egg Coloring Contest on Friday, April 2nd at Nashville Superspeedway. The event will take place in the lunch area of the media center beginning at 11:00 a.m.

Dash 4 Cash: Created in 2009, Nationwide Insurance developed the “Dash 4 Cash” campaign for the NASCAR Nationwide Series that gives $25,000 to the winner at each of the following events: Nashville Superspeedway (April 3), Kentucky Motor Speedway (June 12), Iowa Speedway (July 31) and Texas Motor Speedway (November 6). Eligible drivers for the program are limited to a full-time ride, and any NASCAR Sprint Cup Series regular that will qualify for all NNS events in 2010. If any eligible driver does not win at one event, the $25,000 will roll-over to include the next event on the list. Also, an additional $75,000 bonus will be awarded at the end of the season to the driver with the highest number of accumulated points over those four events.
