Tommy Baldwin's newest undertaking continues to take shape as Scott Riggs was named the team's driver earlier this week.

The 38-year-old North Carolina-native lost his ride with Haas CNC Racing when Tony Stewart came aboard creating the new Stewart-Haas Racing. Now in his sixth full season in the Sprint Cup Series, Riggs will jump behind the wheel of the Tommy Baldwin Racing No. 36 Toyota.

"I look forward to working with Tommy," Riggs explained in a team statement. "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."

In 167 starts at the Cup level, Riggs has four top-5s, sixteen top-10s and three poles. Riggs also cut his teeth in both the Truck Series and Nationwide Series, earning Rookie of the Year honors in the Nationwide Series in 2002.

"Having Scott Riggs on board is a huge stepping stone for Tommy Baldwin Racing," Baldwin pointed out. "He's a top caliber driver, and I look forward to seeing the success we can have together."

Tommy Baldwin Racing plans on running the full Sprint Cup Series schedule in 2009, however a sponsor has yet to be named.
