QUOTES
Stenhouse, Jr. on racing at Richmond International Raceway:
“I am looking forward to racing the No. 6 Fastenal/Honoring Our Heroes Ford Mustang in Richmond. We had a strong performance there earlier this year so it would be really special to get a win for all of our troops, The Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation, and Todd Nicely.”
Crew chief Mike Kelley on racing at Richmond International Raceway:
“We are coming off a strong performance at Atlanta. We were really strong there earlier this year but an untimely caution put us a lap down. The key is to have mistake free pit-stops and stay up front to avoid any accidents which is typical short-track racing. Hopefully we can get this No. 6 Fastenal Ford in victory lane and have Todd Nicely there to celebrate with us.”
