(NASHVILLE, Tenn., February 5, 2010 ) Baker Curb
Racing announced today that the team has reached
an agreement with Scott Lagasse Jr. to drive the
team s No. 43 Ford Fusion in the NASCAR Nationwide
Series this season.
Lagasse Jr. will team up with Greg Biffle at BCR and
will make his debut in the DRIVE4COPD 300 at
Daytona International Speedway Saturday, February
13th.
DrGmall.com will be the primary sponsor on the car
for Daytona and will be a sponsor for several races
throughout the 2010 season. Additional sponsorship
for multiple races has been secured and will be
announced at a later date.
Lagasse Jr. registered four top-10 finishes in 21
NASCAR Nationwide Series starts during the 2009
season and was a leading candidate for the
Raybestos Rookie of the Year Award during the first
half of the season. Since 2005 the St. Augustine, FL
native has made 35 career starts in the Nationwide
Series and his resume also includes 19 career starts
in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. From
2006 to 2008 he collected and impressive two wins,
five top-five finishes and eight top-10 finishes in the
ARCA Re/Max Series in just 14 starts.
Jeff White has been named the crew chief on Lagasse
Jr s No. 43 drgmall.com Ford Fusion. White previously
served as the chief engineer on Baker Curb s No. 27
during the 2008 and 2009 seasons.
The Nashville, TN native was the chief engineer at
Bobby Hamilton Racing when Bobby Hamilton won
the NASCAR Camping World Truck Championship in
2004 and was the crew chief for Ken Schrader in the
truck series during the 2007 season.
I m extremely excited to be driving for Baker Curb
Racing as a teammate to Greg Biffle this season and
to represent DRGmall.com, said Lagasse Jr.
Matt Crews (BCR President) is a terrific leader that
has built an organization that produces impressive
results for sponsors and the results on the track are
equally impressive.
Mr. Baker and Mr. Curb have an incredible
background in this sport and I know the entire
organization will do everything possible to make the
No. 43 successful on the track. I worked with Jeff
White when I drove some truck races for Bobby
Hamilton Racing in 2006 so although I m coming to a
new team I feel that we ll be on the same page from
day one.
Scott has won at every level throughout his career in
racing, Baker Curb Racing president Matt Crews said.
He has won in modifieds, late models, ASA Touring
Series, dirt tracks as well as road courses. Last
season he proved that he can run in the top 10 in the
Nationwide Series on a regular basis and we feel that
he is on the verge of competing for wins. Scott knows
that being a driver extends beyond the track and he
will be a great representative for our new sponsor
DrGmall.com and the rest of our sponsor lineup.
Within a new world of racing, Baker Curb Racing
provides the powerful combination of entertainment
and sport, said Dave Dettman, AKA Dr. Gadget®.
We feel that this partnership with a NASCAR
Nationwide Series team and driver Scott Lagasse Jr.
will result in the pinnacle of consumer product
integration.
