Chassis No. 130-This is the same chassis that Riggs raced at Vegas, Texas, Michigan and Charlotte in the 600.

SCOTT RIGGS QUOTES:

"I am ready to get back to racing on 1.5-mile track like Chicago. We have had strong runs at the intermediate tracks this year at places like Texas, Las Vegas, and Lowe's. We got out of Daytona and Infineon with decent finishes and now its time to get back to what we know best. Rodney is bringing my favorite chassis to Chicago, the same car we ran so well with in the 600. We just want to get that Valvoline/Stanley Tools Dodge up front and come home with a top finish."

RODNEY CHILDERS QUOTES:

"We are looking forward to Chicago. It will be nice to get back to a mile-and-a-half track and this is a good car we're bringing with us, so we are hoping for a good weekend. We've got a great driver in Scott Riggs, so I have no doubt that we can gain more momentum this weekend and continue to climb up in the points and post solid finishes."

QUICK FACTS:

* Scott Riggs finished 20th last week in the Nextel Cup race at Daytona International Speedway.
