Tommy Baldwin Racing has decided to replace Scoot Riggs at the wheel of the Toyota Camry No.36 by former Camping World Truck Series champion Mike Skinner and Patrick Carpentier.

Skinner will run the remainder of the NASCAR Sprint Cup schedule for Baldwin, except for during race weeks where Skinner is driving in Truck Series races. Carpentier will fill in for Skinner then.

Carpentier will first drive in Pocono on June 7th then at Loudon on June 28th.

He will then be back later to drive at Richmond and Dover in September.

The Canadian will be at the Indianapolis Speedway next week for his first test with the team.
