“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.

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.

Meet Scott Riggs: Scott Riggs will be signing autographs at two locations in Nashville this weekend:

· On Friday, April 2nd Riggs will sign autographs from 1:00-2:00 p.m. in the Expo area near Gate 3 at Nashville Superspeedway.

Quoting Scott Riggs:

Do you have any Easter traditions in the Riggs household?

“Just to spend time with the family and hide Easter Eggs with the kids.”

EVENT: NASHVILLE 200 ( 150 LAPS, 200 MILES)

DATE: APRIL 2, 2010

MUSIC CITY MADNESS: Friday night’s running of the Nashville 200 at Nashville (Tenn.) Superspeedway will mark Carmichael’s first start at the track. However, the Florida native does have one start (2008) at Nashville Speedway, located at the Nashville Fairgrounds, in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East. Carmichael started 20th and finished 4th at the famed short track downtown.

CARMICHAEL ON TRUCKS: Last week at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway Carmichael scored his second top-10 of the season with a 10th place finish. It was huge leap from the 29th place finish he scored during last season’s spring race at the famed short track.

Three weeks ago at Atlanta (Ga.) Motor Speedway he scored his career best Truck Series finish by crossing the finish line in sixth place. It was a much needed confidence booster for the team after a mid-race crash ended the race for the No. 4 Monster Energy Team at Daytona in February. Last season Carmichael competed in 18 Truck Series events and scored two top-10 finishes during his first season of NASCAR competition at the elite level.

BET YOU DIDN’T KNOW: During Carmichael’s Moto career he only suffered three broken bones. Carmichael broke his collar bone, shoulder and wrist during his 10-year-stint as an AMA Pro Rider.

MONSTER MANIA: Check out the Monster Energy show truck at two locations in Nashville this weekend. On Wednesday fans can stop by the DAILY’S on 5800 Old Hickory Blvd. in Hermitage, Tenn. from 1:00PM to 5:00 PM. Then on Thursday fans can see the Monster Energy show truck at the DAILY’S located on 320 Hwy 109 North in Lebanon, Tenn. from 10:00AM to 3:00PM.

“It will be back to the basics this weekend because I have never raced at the big speedway. I raced at the little track in downtown Nashville during my East Series days, but I know the superspeedway is a lot different. I have watched several past races at the track to get familiar with what line to run and where to pass. We will unload Friday morning and I will spend the first few laps getting acquainted with the track.

I think it will help that the surface is concrete because it provides lots of grip right off the bat. I did run an East Series race at Dover several years ago and finished seventh. I really enjoyed racing on the concrete. The Monster Energy Team is really on a roll and I look to continue it in Nashville this weekend.”

“We’re taking the same truck to Nashville that we ran at Kentucky. We were really strong there, and we feel like we’ll have just as strong of a package at Nashville. Nashville is a really fast track and you can create speed at the exit of the corners. If you can get back on the throttle early in the corner, you’re going to be fast going down the straightaway.”

Brian Vickers

“Every week this Dollar General team gives me a great car. The mile and a half program is very strong and we have been in contention to win at Vegas and Lowe’s. I think this weekend will be no different. The over the wall crew has nailed some great stops in recent weeks and we are bringing the same Toyota we had in Charlotte. With the momentum we are carrying from the solid runs at Loudon and Daytona, I feel that we will be battling for the win at the end of the race. It would be fantastic to go to victory lane with all the Dollar General guests that will be here for this weekend’s Dollar General 300 at Chicagoland Speedway.”

Crew Chief, Trent Owens, on this weekend at Chicagoland:

“We have had some really strong races this year with Vickers, especially at the mile and a half tracks. I think we are just knocking on the door of a win with the No. 32 Dollar General Toyota. We are bringing the same car with us that he drove at Lowe’s. That Camry was one of the strongest cars of the race and, had that rain held off, I think we would have had some celebrating to do in victory lane. To get our first win of the season this weekend at Chicagoland would be extra special since it is the Dollar General 300.”
