Justin Allgaier on Richmond International Raceway:
“Richmond is always a track that is different with each race we run there. It’s a short track with little banking in the corners so you need to have the speed to carry through the corner and make the car stick to gain off the turn. You never know how the race will shape out. In the spring it turned into a fuel mileage race, which worked out pretty well in our favor,” said Allgaier. “I’m excited to have the Dollar General colors on the No. 31 this weekend. They are a great partner of Turner Motorsports and we hope to give them a strong finish at the end of the night.”
