On Monday afternoon, Baker Curb Racing announced that it had hired Brad Parrott to crew chief the team's No. 27 entry in the Nationwide Series. This announcement follows and announcement made on Saturday that named Greg Biffle as driver of the No. 27.
“Brad is one of the most well respected crew chiefs in the business, brings with him a wealth of knowledge and has had proven success being Greg Biffle’s crew chief," Baker Curb Racing President Matt Crews said. "We feel like he gives us a great chance to run competitive right out of the gate and to win a race. His dad was the crew chief in 1984 when Mike Curb was the owner on Richard Petty’s car so the Parrott name already has a history with Baker Curb Racing.”
The two hirings create a reunion for Biffle and Parrott. The two worked together at Roush Racing in Nationwide Series competition in 2004. That year, the pair collected five wins on their way to a third-place finish in the points standings.
“Greg is not only a top-class driver, he’s a great person as well," Parrott said. He and I had a great relationship in 2004 and translated that into success on the track. We won races, captured poles and were in the mix for a championship. I’m looking forward to continuing that success this season and seeing the No. 27 Red Man Ford Fusion at the front of the pack."
