Baker Curb Racing - Ownership

Ownership

Baker Curb owners have a combined total of over 100 years of experience in both NASCAR racing and national marketing & branding.

Gary Baker

Gary Baker has been a prominent figure in both the Nashville business and racing arenas for several decades. Baker operated the Bristol track from 1978-1983, as well as the Nashville Fairgrounds track (then Nashville International Raceway) from 1979-87 during its glory days when it hosted two annual Cup races. Baker also raced periodically.

In addition his racing ventures, Baker also is a retired prominent tax attorney and CPA who once had such celebrity clients as Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Conway Twitty, T.G. Sheppard and Mel Tillis.

Former owner of Bristol Motor Speedway and Nashville Motor Speedway
Founder of Sports and Promotions Inc. (S & P)
S & P was founded in 1985 to activate the first motorsports marketing initiative for Proctor and Gamble.
S & P has managed the Tide motorsports program on P & G’s behalf for over 20 years

Mike Curb

Mike Curb has a similarly-entwined and equally-dynamic racing/music background as Gary Baker. In addition to at one time owning the cars driven by Earnhardt and Richard Petty – arguably NASCAR’s two most famous drivers -- it was Curb who in 1984 as former Lt. Governor of California brought President Ronald Reagan to the Daytona Pepsi 400, scene of Petty’s 200th and final career victory in the Curb-owned car.

Curb also founded Curb Records, whose label over the decades has included many of the world’s most famous singers. Some of his current artists include Tim McGraw, LeAnn Rimes, Wynonna Judd, Clay Walker, Rodney Atkins and Hank Williams Jr.

Despite his business success, Curb, like Baker, has never lost his passion for racing and he has been involved with various teams over the years.
