SCOTT RIGGS QUOTES:
“Last week was just what we needed for this whole Valvoline Evernham Racing team. These guys have been doing a great job lately so I am not surprised with the result from Bristol. We will be looking to build on that top five this weekend at California. Last time we went there we had just come from missing the Daytona 500 so the team felt a lot of pressure since we had to qualify on time. Thanks to some hard work by this crew we are in a much better situation going into this weekend. I look forward to spending our practice time more on race setup then qualifying and hopefully getting the No. 10 Valvoline/Stanley Tools Dodge Charger dialed in.”
RODNEY CHILDERS QUOTE:
“Chassis 130 is one of our favorite Dodge Chargers, we have run well with it at Lowe’s, Texas, and Las Vegas this year. The crew spent two days testing at Milwaukee this week to prepare for some of the upcoming flat-track races like New Hampshire and Richmond. But for California, we have a lot of confidence in that car and we are focused on bringing home good results for Valvoline Evernham Racing again.”

VALVOLINE CAR CARE TIP OF THE WEEK – RACING OILS:
Valvoline Synthetic Racing Oil is designed for racing application only, but still available at your local auto parts store. Its unique formulation contains premium synthetic base stocks and advanced additive technology designed for high-performance racing engines. It provides more horsepower than the most widely used engine oils in grassroots racing. This helps increase horsepower through advanced friction modifiers balanced with reduced detergent levels and it contains increased amounts of zinc for extra engine protection.
