Kenseth on racing at Richmond International Raceway:
“I am excited about going to Richmond this weekend. It has all come down to this race to settle the top ten that will be competing for the championship this year. We’ve had a good run over the last several months and have put ourselves in contention for this thing. We have to have no mistakes this weekend – not by the driver and not on pit road. It’s going to be exciting, I know that.”
Crew Chief Chad Norris on racing at Richmond International Raceway:
“It’s been a while since we raced – not since Loudon in July. We have a long stretch ahead of us, running seven out of the last eleven races. We hope to start that stretch on a good note this weekend. We’ve finished in the top ten all year, but we’d really like to get some more wins before the season is over.”
