However the team struggled last year to a fourth place finish in the point standings with only one win under its belt, resulting in the team splitting up during the off season.
Riggs Racing has been a fixture in the Whelen Modified Series having run in the past in both series divisions with Miller, Tim Arre, Johnny Bryant and Melvin "Puddin" Swisher.
The NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour is scheduled to compete at Bowman Gray Stadium Aug. 1-2 in the Advance Auto Parts 199. The NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour opens March 22 at Caraway Speedway in Asheboro, North Carolina.
