SCOTT RIGGS QUOTES:
“I am looking forward to another opportunity to participate in the Ultimate Chargers Busch program over here at Evernham, and this time I get to have Ragu on the hood. I haven’t had a real good car at Phoenix since I was in the Busch Series, so the last couple of years have been tough for me at that track. I had decent cars, but nothing we could really be competitive with. I know Evernham Motorsports as a whole has struggled a little bit at Phoenix, but this weekend I will get a little extra track time since I am driving both cars. Plus I think we learned a lot at the Richmond test last week as a company to help us with this new tire we have going to Phoenix and our setup as far as what we need to be competitive. I think having the test under our belt is going to put all three Cup teams to upfront and competitive.
I want to bring Trip (Bruce) and those guys home a good finish, because I feel like I cost them a top three at Bristol, the last race I drove for them, when I messed with our pit strategy by not pitting. We still finished sixth but I want to do even better. The goal is to have a good Busch race on Friday night and use that information to help make our three cup teams better on Saturday night.”
