According to Jayski's, Patrick Carpentier is scheduled to race in the #10 Valvoline car for Evernham Motorsports. The number 10 is outside the top 35. Patrick has been impressive in the two stock car races I've seen him in, I guess he's caught Ray's eye as well. I hope he does well.
i wonder if rays new partner(mr. gillette) had any input on this desicion,it is a good one i do not think riggs could have got the car in.
I thought that the Gillette partnership may have had someting to do with it as well. There is a Montreal connection here, even though Mr. Gillette is an American. And I agree with you hill3, I'm not confident that Riggs would have qualified anyway. He didn't make the race in Sonoma.
any thoughts mid on this and whether or not gem is any help to canadain motor sports
