Scott Wimmer Quotes:
“I love going to Richmond to the short track. It’s some of the greatest racing we do all year – we run two and sometimes three wide. It’s always exciting racing there. The fans there are great and it’s always a pleasure going to the Richmond area. Hopefully, we can improve on the last time we were there. We had a real good car and unfortunately got caught up in a wreck right away. I think we can definitely go there and have a strong run and get into these last 10 races and get our car up front and compete for some top 10’s and top 5’s before this year is over.”
