FRM Race Preview: Richmond

Michael McDowell on Richmond
16 Starts
Best Finish: 12th
“I’m ready to regroup at Richmond. The track is usually pretty fast after the sun goes down, but it’s also a track that requires good tire management. We will need to be smart and execute well throughout the whole weekend. We know we can do that and have a solid run.”

Matt Tifft on Richmond
(Xfinity Series) 5 Starts | 2 Top-5 | 2 Top-10
Best Finish: 4th
“Richmond is a cool track to race at. The banking is similar to ISM Raceway and since we had such a good run there a few weeks ago, I’m looking forward to seeing what our No. 36 Ford can do. We’ve got The Pete Store on our car this weekend and it’s great to have them as a continued partner with FRM.”

David Ragan on Richmond
24 Starts | 3 Top-5 | 3 Top-10
Best Finish: 3rd
“I’m excited to get on track this weekend. Richmond is one of my favorite places we race at. Passing will be a challenge, but hopefully we will have some good speed in our No. 38 MDS/ODB Ford. I’m glad to have our partners at ODB on the car this weekend and we will definitely give it everything we have to show them a great finish.”
