2003 recap
The good: Scott Riggs thought life was good as he competed for the Busch Series title last year, one year removed from his rookie of the year campaign in that series. But life got a heck of a lot better when the MB2 folks asked him to come on board, as they were letting driver Johnny Benson go, and take over the reigns of the 10 car. Riggs, a racing lifer who started out in NASCAR with the trucks, will move up to the big time at age 33.

The bad: Hindsight nullifies this being bad, but then again once you get the call to the big show most bad things become forgotten. Still, Riggs' team struggled a bit after its sponsor on the Busch car announced it would leave the next year. All along, Riggs was pretty certain he'd have a Cup ride to fall back on, the team didn't share that certainty. Riggs fell from leading the points race (as late as with two races to go) to finishing sixth.

Key stat: 33. No, not because of his age. That's how many consecutive races -- dipping back to last year -- Riggs went without a DNF. The streak was snapped with back-to-back DNFs in the final two races of the year, knocking him out of contention for a Busch title.

2004 outlook
What needs to be done: This is not a juggernaut team Riggs is coming to. But it is one that has won races recently and one that can compete with the right combination of driver-crew chemistry and shop chemistry. The team should be fairly confident with their power with motors coming from Hendrick, but it'll be how long it takes for the team to gel that might decide Riggs' rookie fate.

Key change: This team has serious change written everywhere, from driver and crew chief on down.

Prediction: Rookie of the year? Dunno. Riggs will have to compete with guys racing for Richard Childress Racing, Hendrick Motorsports and Penske. It won't be easy, but Riggs is a clean racer who knows how to keep his car in one piece -- so you can bet he'll at least be a contender.

Did you know: Riggs' first passion was motorcross, but his dad sold his bike when he wasn't home one day.

Your take
Will Scott Riggs be able to successfully battle against rookies from three of the sport's biggest teams? Or will this new group of team members struggle this year? Share your thoughts on Riggs' prospects for 2004.
