RYAN NEWMAN QUOTE:
What are your thoughts on Richmond International Raceway?
“It’s a really good race track. I’m not sure that it suits my driving style any different than other tracks. It just makes for good racing. It’s so much fun because you can go there and have several options to make a pass. Corner exits are really important and a key to running well at Richmond. You need good drive off in Turns 2 and 4. Those are the two places where you can make the most time.”
