Scott Wimmer has finalized a deal with Richard Childress Racing that will put him in at least 23 Busch Series races in 2008 and position himself for a fulltime Nextel Cup ride. Wimmer will drive 23 races in the #29 Holiday Inn car and there’s potential to put him in the #2 driven by Clint Bowyer for the remaining 12 Busch events so he can compete for a championship. He also could run five to 10 Nextel Cup events if the organization doesn’t go fulltime with a fourth team in NASCAR’s premier series.(ESPN.com)(9-23-2007)
