Tommy Baldwin  

Former NASCAR Driver & Owner of Tommy Baldwin Racing

Tommy Baldwin Jr. is the team majority owner of Tommy Baldwin Racing and Competition Director of Premium Motorsports, the latter for whom he also serves as crew chief of the No. 15 car in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series. His father, Tom Baldwin, was a former champion NASCAR modified driver. Baldwin himself briefly pursued a racing career before becoming a mechanic.

Baldwin started his own Sprint Cup Series team, named Tommy Baldwin Racing, in 2009. Baldwin's cars for the Daytona 500 were mainly built and assembled by volunteer crew members who were laid off by other race teams affected by the economic crisis.

TBR's best finish is third. Blaney drove the 36 to third at the October 2011 Talladega race and Smith drove the No. 7 Chevrolet to third place finish at the August 2016 rain-shortened Pocono race. TBR shut down their Cup team after the 2016 season, though it was revived for the 2017 Daytona 500 with Elliott Sadler.

In 2017, Baldwin joined the Halmar Friesen Racing Truck team as a team manager. In August, Baldwin left the team, with HFR co-owner Chris Larsen citing a lack of progress as why the two decided to split. Baldwin later become the Competition Director at Premium Motorsports, while also serving as crew chief of the team's No. 15 Cup car.
