From the Cockpit:
Matt Kenseth: “Richmond is a great race track and I love racing there, and I actually think all the drivers do. The action is great there and it’s a track that I look forward to getting back to. For the spring race there earlier this year, I thought our car was able to contend for the win but we had a couple of really late cautions with a few delayed restarts, and my car just didn’t like the tires after they cycled through. I think with Richmond being a three-quarter-mile track, where you have a little bit of speed, yet the track is really worn out and slick from new tires and old tires that I think it makes for a pretty good race.”
From the Pit Box:
Jason Ratcliff: “I have a love/hate relationship with Richmond. I really think that it’s one of the coolest tracks we go to besides Bristol and Darlington, but it is so hard from a crew chief’s perspective. Maybe it’s just me, but it’s so unique, and it seems like the conditions you practice in are so different than the conditions during the race that it’s almost like you need to know what those off-sets are going to be from practice to the race. It’s almost like if you practice well, it’s almost a little concerning, because the conditions during the afternoon are typically so different than the conditions that night. It’s a track that we’ve run well at recently so I’m looking for good things out of our No. 20 team.”
