An interview with Scott Riggs:
Q: The original plan was a couple races [with the #09 RAB Racing team]. What is it now? Are they going to run as long as they can?
A: We’re going to run as long as we can, for sure. We feel that if we continue to improve and are able to run well right now, we’re running good enough not to get some recognition. Guys like you are calling wanting to talk to us. But at the same time, we definitely need a sponsor. Even though are finishes are pretty much the same for three weeks in a row, we’ve been getting better every week. If we can continue to get better and continue to improve our finishing positions and make headway in the points and show everyone that we have a product, there are some sponsors out there that haven’t made decisions and haven’t come forward and are sort of watching the way everything’s going the first part of the year that are going to dip their toe in the water. We’ll have a product we can sell and hopefully sustain us the rest of the year.(NNSRacing)(3-5-2010)
UPDATE: Lake Oconee resident Brack Maggard turned to the skies during Sunday’s race in hopes of securing sponsorship for his NASCAR Nationwide Series team. Maggard hired a pilot and plane based in Lawrenceville to fly a banner over AMS which read: “Sponsor Scott Riggs www.teamrab.com.” Riggs, the driver of the #09 RAB Ford, is 10th in the driver standings three races into the Nationwide Series season despite running on a limited budget. “I got to think about flying a banner over the track after reading an article that blasted television’s coverage of NASCAR because they talked so much about Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Danica Patrick,” Maggard said. “The story used RAB as an example of other things that need to be talked about.”(Atlanta Journal Constitution)(3-8-2010)
