Kenseth on racing at Richmond:
"I had such a good car here at this event last year that we came back
from being a lap down twice to win the race. Richmond is a place I
really like to run*and I know a lot of drivers will tell you the same
thing. It's just a great racetrack."
Crew Chief Robbie Reiser on racing at Richmond:
"There's no question we have to have a good handling car. We've
got to be close when we unload the car so we can get the car comfortable
for Matt. You have to work well on the long runs, because even though
there are cautions, you do run a lot of green flag laps in a row.
It's important to get set up for the long runs so you don't wear
the tires out too fast."
