SCOTT RIGGS QUOTES:
“Racing the COT at Talladega this weekend is really going to be a wildcard for everybody. Our Valvoline/Stanley Tools Dodge Avenger was good during the test there a month ago. It was clear that the bump drafting will still happen, but what’s different is that you can get a huge run on the car in front of you but when you get there you can’t speed that car up or get around them. We ran in the draft during the test but not in as big of one as we will be this weekend. It should be exciting. I am definitely looking forward to it.”
