SCOTT RIGGS QUOTES:
“We have some great tracks for the No. 10 Stanley Tools/Valvoline Dodge coming up on the schedule, beginning with California. This will be a great way to put our Daytona Speedweeks behind us. We were looking forward to starting this season off with a clean slate, but that did not happen. Adversity is nothing new to this No. 10 team and I feel like we will just rally together like we have in the past. We are locked into the first five races and that’s going to help us stick to our game plan in practice. We have notes to go off of from last year, at these tracks and with these chassis. I think Kevin Kidd did an excellent job in the team director role last weekend. We have a lot to look forward to.”
