Carpentier candidate to replace Riggs in the No 10
Quote selected text Published October 8th, 2007 in NASCAR News
Patrick Carpentier could be the next open-wheel driver to make the move to the Nextel Cup Series. Ray Evernham, the minority owner of Gillett Evernham Motorsports, said the Canadian-born Carpentier is a candidate to replace Scott Riggs in the #10 car next season.
“That’s going to be up to [George] Gillett,” Evernham said of GEM’s majority owner. “I know he’s one of the people being considered. They’ll make that decision.”
Gillett has said Carpentier, who replaced Riggs at the Watkins Glen road course earlier this year, could drive in at least one Cup race during the championship chase. Evernham added that he will have three full-time Cup teams and possibly two full-time Busch teams in 2008, and that his goal of becoming a four-car team likely won’t happen until 2009.
