KASEY KAHNE QUOTES:
“My first NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series victory came at Richmond, so I always look forward to going back. It’s a great race track and very competitive. It would be nice if we were battling for a spot in the Chase as we have a couple of times, but that’s not the case this year. This race and the final 10 are still very important to our No. 9 Dodge Dealers/UAW Dodge Avenger team as we continue to improve the performance of the Avenger which will be used at all races next year.”
