Scott Wimmer Quotes:
“I’m really looking forward to racing at Richmond. We had a very good test up here a few weeks ago. We were able to test under the race conditions (at night) and were able to learn quite a bit. We’ve had a few brake problems at the short tracks this year and I think we were able to fix that at the test. I think our car will be good and, hopefully, our finish will reflect it.”
