His father, Tom Baldwin, was a former champion NASCAR modified driver. Baldwin himself briefly pursued a racing career before becoming a mechanic.

He started as a crew chief in 1997 for owner Junie Donlavey. In 1998 he moved to Bill Davis Racing as the crew chief for Ward Burton.

In 2003, Baldwin became the crew chief of the No. 7 Dodge Intrepid for Ultra Motorsports driven by Jimmy Spencer.
After Sirius' departure from the team, Baldwin joined Evernham Motorsports as the crew chief for Kasey Kahne.
