HEMRIC

“Richmond has been an interesting package from what I’ve gathered as far as trying to find what this car wants and needs. This will be my first time driving this NEXTGen car at Richmond, but it’s going to be a fun night race. It’s always good short-track racing under the lights. If we can maximize the day, we can have a solid outing.”

AJ

ALLMENDINGER

“Richmond is a racetrack that is super tricky. The way it uses tires, it’s easy to go too fast early in a run and you pay the price. It’s a fun track as a driver to try to dictate your race car setup and how to use the tires. It’s been a racetrack that has been good for Kaulig Racing with Chandler [Smith] winning last year, and the previous couple years we ran up front and led laps. It’s challenging for the driver, but it’s a racetrack that we have good history from that we can build from.”
