The influx of open-wheel drivers into the worlds of NASCAR and stock car racing continued this week. Canadian Patrick Carpentier was announced early in week as Scott Riggs’ replacement in the No. 10 at Gillett Evernham Motorsports. Riggs recently moved to the CNC Haas camp in either the No. 66 or No. 70 team.

That announcement brings the number former open wheel drivers that will be competed full-time in NASCAR next season to three. The other two, Juan Pablo Montoya and Dario Franchitti, are employed by Chip Ganassi.
