SCOTT RIGGS QUOTES:
“I’m ready to go to Pocono again and try to improve on our finish last time. We came from the back to the front at Pocono in June, and got a hard fought top-10 finish. Our Valvoline/Stanley Tools Dodge wasn’t all that strong to begin with but Rodney made some great adjustments and we got a good result in the end. We had a car that was really good on the long runs there last race so hopefully we can make it come in a little quicker this time around.”
RODNEY CHILDERS QUOTES:
“We have a pretty good Valvoline/Stanley Tools Dodge for this weekend. It is the same car that Jeremy won with last year in Michigan. This year we qualified on the pole and won the Nextel Open with it, and then it also finished eighth at Pocono last time. Our team has been very busy recently preparing for these upcoming races, testing in Indy last week and Kentucky this week. Hopefully what we have learned will give us that extra boost to come home with a top five from Pocono.”
