R3 Motorsports says that Scott Riggs will drive the team's No. 03 Chevrolet in Saturday's Nationwide Series race at Texas Motor Speedway, carrying sponsorship from Willbros.
Crew chief Stephen Gonzalez will be making pit calls for Riggs, a veteran driver who has made the majority of his 13 Nationwide starts this season for Rick Ware Racing.
“I am excited to have Willbros partner with us at Texas and to have the opportunity to race in the NASCAR Nationwide series," Riggs said. "Our team owners are from Texas so we are looking forward to having a great run in front of their home crowd with the No. 03 Willbros Chevrolet."
Mike Collier, Willbros vice president of corporate marketing, commented: “NASCAR is an American institution with a broad fan base, including our customers and employees, and we are pleased to support R3 Motorsports because we recognize their involvement in community and charity events. This is a great way for us to reward our customer and employee NASCAR fans and give back to the community through R3.”
