From the Cockpit:
Matt Kenseth: “In the past when we’ve come to Richmond, we did all of our practice and qualifying during the day, and then we’d race at night. With it now being a day race, at least now we’ll be racing in more similar conditions to what we practiced in. I think that our JGR group as a whole has started off the year strong as well and all of our cars have been really competitive. Richmond was good for us the last time we raced there, so you always hope that it will be a good weekend when you come back, but you never really know. It seems that we always have a new tire every time that we go to Richmond so that’s always a variable, and racing in the day is obviously different as well, but we’ll hope to head back and be competitive.”
From the Pit Box:
Jason Ratcliff: “This weekend at Richmond will definitely be different for us with it now being a day race. We have so many notes on what we need to do from daytime practice to nighttime racing that who knows, maybe we won’t need to make too many adjustments now. We might be able to tune on our car and be able to race with what we practiced, but it will definitely be a different weekend for teams. The way that the track at Richmond takes rubber in the daytime during the race will be different than we’ve ever seen before and this weekend’s schedule is also different. It should be a fun weekend though, and our 20 team had a good race there last September, but we’ll have a good baseline to go from when we get there.”
