SCOTT RIGGS QUOTES:
“This is a big weekend for the whole Stanley Tools/Valvoline team with the Racing for a Miracle program that is raising money for the Children’s Miracle Network. We are going to be visiting Riley Hospital for Children on Thursday. I get to meet the patient that designed my helmet for this weekend’s race.
“The team has made a lot of changes to our cars over the off weekend and we will be bringing our very best equipment to the Allstate 400. Qualifying on Saturday is going to be especially competitive since it is in the morning. The temperature change and qualifying draw will affect it, but we hope to not need that extra bit of help. We had a decent qualifying run at Indy last year and we will be looking for more of the same this weekend.”
QUICK FACTS:
