JEREMY MAYFIELD QUOTES

“Coming out of Talladega with a top-15 finish is just what our team needed. Hopefully, it sets us up for Richmond. I’m proud of my guys. We were down, about as low as you can get heading into Talladega. We needed something good to happen and it did. We’re going in the right direction. We just have to keep doing what we’re doing. I think we’re ready to break out and have some good runs with our No. 19 Dodge Dealers/UAW Dodge Charger. Everything is in place. We just need to get everything working together.

“Richmond has produced some special moments for Jeremy Mayfield. We’ve had success there. I think there are more good things in store for us at Richmond. We’ve been on defense. Now, it’s time to break out the offense. We’ll try to do that Saturday night under the lights.”
