Johanna on Racing at Richmond International Raceway: “I’m really pumped about racing this Friday at Richmond International Raceway” says Long. “Not only is it a night race, but it’s a short track race so it makes it that much more exciting. We had a really strong run going at this track back in September, but ran into some bad luck with a blown tire. Hopefully we can build off of last year’s race at Richmond and come home with a strong finish.”
