KASEY KAHNE QUOTES:
“Richmond will always be special for me. That’s where I got my first Nextel Cup victory. We had a good test at Richmond with the car of tomorrow (COT) last month. Kenny (Francis, team director) and the crew have used data collected in our tests to make changes to our No. 9 Dodge Dealers/UAW Dodge Avenger which will help with the handling. Night racing at Richmond is special. We’re looking forward to this weekend and the opportunity to continue the progress we’re making with the COT. It would be a great boost for our team to put together another complete race and strong finish at Richmond.”
