Tommy Baldwin Racing plans to run full Sprint Cup season in 2009
Former Bill Davis Racing crew chief Tommy Baldwin, who had operated his own team in the NASCAR Busch Series in 2004, plans to field a Sprint Cup team in 2009 under his Tommy Baldwin Racing banner.
The team will run Toyotas with engines from Arrington Manufacturing and plans to run the full season, according to a news release from the team. The team did not announce a driver nor a sponsor.
“With tough economic times upon us, the timing for starting this team is right,” Baldwin said. “Our overhead is low and we have a great group of talented mechanics and specialists to choose from. We can offer sponsors the chance to get into NASCAR Sprint Cup racing at a fraction of the costs, without compromising on-track performance, due to our low overhead.”
Baldwin, 41, is a New York native with roots in Modified racing. He has worked for Evernham Motorsports, Robert Yates Racing, Ultra Motorsports and BDR.
“It’s still attainable to be an owner, if you are willing to put the work in and I’m no stranger to hard work,” Baldwin said.
