SCOTT RIGGS QUOTES:
“This weekend is going to be a challenge for this whole Stanley Tools/Valvoline team. There are a lot of road course specialists in the cars that are outside the top 35 so qualifying is going to be intense. But I am very confident in our team’s testing and preparations for this event. We went to Road Atlanta to test with Boris (Said) and then again at VIR with just me last week. The No. 10 team has run well in the COT races so far this season so I am optimistic heading into this weekend that we will make the show and climb our way back inside the top 35.”
