Riggs Rolls to Third
Straight Top-20
Darlington, S.C. – Scott Riggs raced his No. 66 State Water Heaters Chevrolet Impala SS to a 17th-place finish at Darlington Raceway Saturday night.
Riggs began the race in the 9th position on the starting grid and ran near the Top-10 for the early portion of the race. Riggs lost track position, however, when he had to re-pit his car after NASCAR officials determined that not all of the lug nuts where tightened on the left front wheel.
Throughout the race Riggs reported that his car was tight through the corners, and Crew Chief Booty Barker called for several air pressure and chassis adjustments to Riggs’ Chevy.(complete release)
