RYAN NEWMAN QUOTES:
What makes Richmond International Raceway unique?
“Richmond is one of the best, if not arguably, the best short track we go to just because you fight a little bit of everything. You have two different shaped corners, D-shaped tri-oval. There is a lot of braking and acceleration. Forward drive is usually at a premium. It’s just that typical short track but it’s the right size that fits our race car. It’s a lot of fun.”
What is the one thing you know you will have to contend with when racing there?
“You always have to work on two things at Richmond. That’s turning in the center and getting forward drive off of Turn 4. You still have to have good braking balance and things like that. Turning in the center and forward drive are the dominant parts of most every short track and Richmond is no different.”
- Richard Childress Racing
....Bizarre that there's not one mention of the Chase in this release or what Newman needs to happen to get in
