RIR History: Sorenson has a total of nine starts at Richmond International Raceway with a NSCS best finish of 14th in 2006. In the other garage, Sorenson has one top-five and three top-10 finishes at the .75-Mile track in the Nationwide Series.
In the points: The No. 41 team is now 32nd in the overall standings and 351 points out of 12th, which is the final cutoff for the Chase.
IndyCar Series Weekend: Target Chip Ganassi Racing Driver Dan Wheldon delivered Target’s second win of the season and became the first repeat winner at Kansas Speedway. Target teammate Scott Dixon started from the pole position and dominated Sunday’s Road Runner Turbo Indy 300, until an untimely caution relegated him to a third-place finish.
