A fan recently showed Scott Riggs a video featuring a preview of the American Males, where he teamed up with Buff Bagwell in WCW as two good looking young guys.

"These things just happen sometimes in racing. I'm excited about the truck that we have for Martinsville this week."And with good reason. It is the same truck that Riggs drove to a fifth place finish at Martinsville last October."Martinsville is always a lot of fun," said Riggs.

"We had a really good truck. (Crew chief) Mike (Hester) and these guys put a good piece under me. It was stable and was great in the draft. We had a truck that could have finished in the top five."After starting 18th, Riggs quickly put the No. 92 in the top 10 in the running order, despite being in the slower-moving top lane for his entire 26-lap run. The No. 92 finished in 35th place."Sure, it's disappointing," said Hester as the team loaded the truck to head back to North Carolina. "We had a great truck and Scott was doing a heck of a job.

But after a fifth-place finish in the BTS Tire and Wheel Distributors/fleetHQ.com/QMI Chevrolet, Riggs and team owner Ricky Benton decided to extend the relationship into 2013. Riggs will be behind the wheel of the No. 92 for at least the first five races of the upcoming season.  RBR Enterprises is looking for additional sponsorship to expand its schedule, possibly the entire 22-race slate.    "These guys have some great equipment," said Riggs.

Last month, Jayski.com reported that NASCAR Sprint Cup veteran Riggs had an opportunity to work as a driver coach for Danica Patrick and/or serve as a test driver for Stewart-Haas Racing, along with a limited schedule in a fourth Stewart-Haas car, pending sponsorship. When contacted about Riggs, spokesperson Mike Arning on Thursday said via email, “Scott Riggs has no official role with Stewart-Haas Racing. However, the team utilizes him for tests as needed.” Riggs, who tested for Stewart-Haas at Talladega in 2011, drove full-time for Haas-CNC Racing in 2008, the year before the team morphed into Stewart-Haas Racing with the arrival of Tony Stewart. In 2012, Riggs ran the start-and-park Cup car for R3 Motorsports and finished fifth in the fall Truck Series race at Martinsville for Ricky Benton Racing in a one-race deal.         Sat, 22 Dec 2012 17:37:32 -0500 http://network.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/stewart_haas_racing_scott_riggs_has_no_official_role_with_team/13050859 http://network.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/stewart_haas_racing_scott_riggs_has_no_official_role_with_team/13050859 Stewart-Haas Racing: Scott Riggs has ‘no official role’ with team http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/articles/stewart_haas_racing_scott_riggs_has_no_official_role_with_team/13050859 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/5/1/51e500a964964cd8be1b89208b6eeafcb0c6b412/mini/Sylvania_300_Practice_e868.jpg R3 Motorsports is pleased to announce that Willbros (www.willbros.com) is on board the #03 Chevrolet in the NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Texas Motor Speedway this weekend with driver, Scott Riggs. Riggs, a North Carolina native, will be piloting the #03 Willbros Chevrolet with crew chief, Stephen Gonzalez, making the calls from the pit box.  Riggs comments: “I am excited to have Willbros partner with us at Texas and to have the opportunity to race in the NASCAR Nationwide series!

It was the team's first top five since the 2011 NextEra 250 at Daytona.   "These guys worked so hard all weekend to get this truck better," Riggs said.

"When I raced late models at South Boston, Orange County and Myrtle Beach, I raced against Ricky's teams, so it's exciting to be going racing with a team and a group of guys that I know."   The new driver and team got a jump start on the Martinsville race last week with a test at Little Rock Speedway in Rockingham, N.C. "I was impressed with the truck and the way it ran at Little Rock," said team manager Mike Hester. "We didn't get as much time on track as we would have liked, but the truck was pretty good and should be good when we unload (at Martinsville)."   Riggs is no stranger to the hal...

But in this Bank of America 500, fans will witness something not seen in more than 50 years in the sport -- a race without a driver from North Carolina. Trivia fans, take note. So when was the last time this happened? With Dale Earnhardt Jr. (Mooresville, N.C.) sidelined with a concussion and Scott Riggs (Bahama, N.C.) failing to make the field, the green flag will wave on a field without a driver from North Carolina for the first time since May 27, 1961, at Ascot Stadium in Los Angeles.

Since the addition of Musgrave the team has shown improved results. Scott Riggs will drive the No. 5 truck as Harraka and team owner Richie Wauters work out a plan for the remainder of the season. “Paulie has grown a tremendous amount as a racecar driver this season, without question. He has continually shown the work ethic and dedication to keep learning, and the halfway point in the season marks the perfect time to take a step back and analyze everything we’ve done together up to this point.” said Wauters. Harraka has run 11 races this season. He has not scored a top ten yet but led his first two laps at Chicagoland.
