Sarah Fisher on Richmond International Raceway:
“I’m looking forward to going back to Richmond it should be a very good weekend for us. I grew up on the short tracks of America so Richmond feels like home to me. The people there are very IndyCar friendly and we put on a fantastic show. I’ve qualified on the front row there twice so I’m really looking forward to getting back on the track at Richmond. ”
Buddy Rice on Richmond International Raceway: “I’m glad to be going back to Richmond. I think it’s an awesome track—it’s fast, it’s obviously not as fast as Iowa. It’s going to take a lot more set-up here where the last track at Iowa was a big dyno track. I’m glad were going back to racing at night. I’ve done well here in the past and our short oval car has been pretty good. We’ve had some solid finishes. Hopefully we can keep our trend going and try to get another good result this weekend before we start heading into the road courses. With it being a night race I am pretty excited. ”
