On the Richmond Raceway:
“The last time I raced at the Richmond Raceway was in 2005. I enjoyed the racing experience then, and look forward to this Saturday’s race in my home state of Virginia. I have watched the race footage from last year to get an understanding of how the race played-out during the stages. I would like to think some of my success at the Iowa Speedway will help when we take the green-flag this weekend.”
