Red Man Moist Snuff Baker Curb Racing Ford Fusion Will Be Racing This Week At Talladega

Altamonte Springs, FL -- (SBWire) -- 04/23/2010 -- Scott Wimmer, one of NASCAR’s most dynamic and hottest racers just signed a 3 race program deal that will see him driving the #27 Red Man Moist Snuff Baker Curb Racing Ford Fusion. Wimmer will be driving the #27 Red Man Moist Snuff Baker Curb Racing Ford Fusion this weekend at the Aarons 312 at the Talladega Superspeedway. This deal follows a two-race deal that saw Wimmer driving racing in the No. 7 Chevy Impala that Danica Patrick began the 2010 NASCAR Nationwide Series with. Wimmer will also be racing the #27 Red Man Moist Snuff Baker Curb Racing Ford Fusion at the Federated Auto Parts 300 in Nashville in June and the Meijer 300 at the Kentucky Speedway also in June. The deal was negotiated by P1 Groupe, Wimmer’s professional motorsports management company.

“I am happy we got this deal done, we have been talking with the guys at Baker Curb Racing for some time now, and I am excited to be driving the #27 Red Man Moist Snuff Baker Curb Racing Ford Fusion,” said Scott Wimmer. “I really like racing at Talladega and look forward to competing there again in what has been an electrifying season for me so far. We are trying very hard to keep the momentum going this season and lay the groundwork for as many races as possible this season and have those results lead us into a full season deal for 2011.”

The Aarons 312 at Talladega is one of NASCAR’s most prestigious races that attracts racing fans in the tens of thousands. For Wimmer, this race will be a challenge to see if he can maintain the earlier momentum that he has shown at Bristol and Nashville where he scored two top 10s this season and earned the praise of Sports Illustrated’s Tom Bowles.
