We’re hearing Josh Wise will be driving the #43 Dodge Challenger under the Baker Curb Racing banner in the Nationwide Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway next week. The deal is supposedly being backed by veteran tire changer D.J. Copp, his company OTWCrew.com, and Ingersoll Rand. Besides backing the deal, Copp will also serve as crew chief for the all volunteer crew during the weekend.
Copp is a familiar name around the sport. In addition to working as a tire changer for some of NASCAR’s biggest teams over the last decade, he also does segments for ESPN’s NASCAR Now.
For Wise, if he’s able to qualify, this will mark his 24th NNS start of the year. He’s made previous starts this season for Specialty Racing, JR Motorsports, Baker Curb Racing, and Braun Racing. His best finish of eighth came at Gateway driving the #7 for JRM.
Word is that Copp is attempting to put together enough support to run future races. Expect an official announcement toward the end of the week.
