Quotes:
Scott Wimmer on Richmond International Raceway:
“Richmond is a real racer’s racetrack. It’s such an awesome place because so rarely do you find a short track that has room to race. It’s fun to go to a place where aerodynamics, horsepower and fuel mileage play less of a factor and it’s more in your team’s hands to get a good handling race car. You have to have a great handling car and stay out of trouble - whoever does that will be in victory lane at the end of the night.”
Scott Wimmer on driving for the United States Postal Service®:
“I’m really looking forward to having the United States Postal Service® in a primary role this weekend. We have incredible sponsors at Brewco Motorsports and the United States Postal Service® is definitely one of the best. I’ve worked with the people of the United States Postal Service® a lot this season and they are some of the nicest people I have ever been around. I love representing such a large and important organization and I’m truly honored to drive the United States Postal Service® Ford Fusion this weekend.”
