SCOTT RIGGS QUOTES:
"We have dug ourselves in a hole here early on in the season. It’s not from a lack of effort on anyone’s part. Everyone on this Valvoline Evernham Racing team has done a good job. We have had some tough breaks but no one has lost their confidence. We believe we could go to Bristol this weekend and win the race. But the main goal we have is to stay focused and get a top finish."
"The COT brings a lot of unknowns to the race this weekend. But our team strengths are engineering expertise, technology, and a team approach to problem solving. The COT will be a clean slate for all teams and I think that is an opportunity for our skills to shine."
