Supra driver Riley Herbst was the highest-finishing Toyota driver in Friday night’s NASCAR Xfinity Series (NXS) event at Richmond Raceway as he finished ninth in his 2019 NXS debut.

“We’re going to another short track this weekend in Richmond! We just came out of Bristol with another Top-10 finish. I’ve got Elliott Sadler as my teammate in the No. 10 for Kaulig Racing, so I'm going to use his veteran experience."

Michael Annett’s first start for JR Motorsports at Richmond Raceway in 2017 is his best over the last four races there, earning an eighth-place finish.

Nemechek and the No. 23 team will utilize chassis no. 216. This chassis was raced this year by John Hunter Nemechek at ISM Raceway (start: 13th/finish: 9th).

To get my first win here with the Dash 4 Cash bonus. Thank you to Xfinity for doing that and more importantly thank you to Rheem, Ruud, everyone at Toyota, TRD (Toyota Racing Development), everyone at Joe Gibbs Racing."

CHASE BRISCOE, No. 98 Nutri Chomps Ford Mustang – HOW WOULD YOU SUM UP YOUR DAY? “That’s really what we should be doing all year long. It’s just taken us a little bit of time for me to learn the race cars and for them to kind of find what I like. Overall, this is by far our best weekend from start to finish. We showed that I feel like we can be a top four contender, so there at the end I felt like I honestly was the best car it’s just so hard to pass when they get like that around the top. I found a little bit of speed down on the bottom of one and two, but we didn’t get the $100,000 this week, but we’ve got a shot again next week. We’ll go there with our Nutri Chomps Ford and see what we can do.”

Joe Gibbs Racing driver Christopher Bell was made available to the media in Bristol: CHRISTOPHER BELL, No. 20 Rheem Toyota Supra, Joe Gibbs Racing - Do you always look forward to coming to Bristol? “Bristol is one of my favorites. After the fall race last year I was like man, I wish we could go to Bristol next week. Here we are. I love this race track. It’s one of my favorites.”

Chase Briscoe, driver of the No. 98 Nutri Chomps Ford Mustang, is one of four drivers competing this weekend in the Dash 4 Cash with a chance to win a $100,000 bonus. He spoke about that opportunity, along with the start to his season, before today’s practice.

“Not taking any tires was certainly a help. We jumped the field there and I was worried about the restart. I just didn’t think there was going to be enough grip. This car certainly had enough grip in it. I can’t thank iK9, the First Foundation – this Toyota Supra was awesome today. It was really fast."
