Riggs Will Run ARCA Race For Experience
Nextel Cup rookie Scott Riggs has never competed at Pocono Raceway, but he is hopeful that entering Saturday's Automobile Racing Club of America series race at the 2.5-mile track will better prepare him and his No. 10 team for Sunday's Pocono 500. Coming off of a career-best fifth-place finish at Dover International Speedway, Riggs will pilot the No. 99 Pontiac in the Pocono 200 ARCA race. Officially driving for Ken Schrader, Riggs is hopeful the ARCA experience will benefit him come Sunday. Riggs' only experience at the asphalt tri-oval is a one-day test session the No. 10 Chevrolet team participated in last week.(charlotte.com)(6-9-04)
 
Pretty much my thoughts too Lappy. Mr Riggs hadn't impressed me much before, and he sure hasn't this year either. But I'll give him this year to see if he gets it together before I send him back to Busch. :D

i agree
 
Hey trying to get experience at the unique track speaks better of a racer than, say, opting out of it or a road course...a la Sauter.
 
Well we saw how running a few ARCA races last year helped build the confidence in Mears. Maybe it will do the same for Riggs. I figured Riggs wouldn't impress many right off the bat mainly because of the team he is running with. His team can't really be compared to the bigger teams. Give him some time and he'll show his power.
