Late Race Caution Puts Austin Dillon and the Ruud Team in Contention at Richmond International Raceway

“In the heat race we struggled with a really tight-handling Ruud Chevrolet but we were able to make it better on the long run before the main event started. We definitely had a decent car on the long run. We just couldn’t take off to start a run. At the end of the long run we were probably one of the fastest cars. On that last restart if we had a car that could have turned a bit better we probably could have moved somebody or tried to, at least. I just could not get to them in the first corner. It was a good day for RCR in general and I’m very proud of my brother, Ty, for his Dash4Cash win. That’s what he needed right there.”

Ty Dillon wins #Dash4Cash, Finishes Runner-Up at Richmond International Raceway

“Today was an all around excellent day for our No. 3 WESCO team. With Nick Harrison out this weekend, our race engineer, Danny Efland, really stepped up and delivered today. This team has a whole lot of fight and was there with me at the end to give me a great race car. I really wanted to win this race today, and thought we had a chance at the end. It’s cool to win this Dash4Cash and I can’t thank XFINITY enough for allowing us to race this format. It was exciting to win the heat race and be one step closer to locking ourselves in the Chase. We’re looking forward to getting Nick back next week and hopefully scoring a win. Today was fun; we need more days like today.”

Brandon Jones and the No. 33 Chevrolet Military Discount Camaro Team Continue Strong Season with a Top-15 Finish at Richmond International Raceway

“This weekend was tricky from the beginning with practice and qualifying cancelled because of rain on Friday. We didn’t get a chance to dial in the No. 33 Chevy to where we needed it and that showed during today’s race. We fought an overall lack of grip that had me slipping and sliding around the track. Mike (Hillman, crew chief) made great calls and we were able to finish the day with a decent finish.”

Brendan Gaughan and the South Point Team Power to Seventh Place Finish at Richmond International Raceway

“Richmond was a fun surface to race on today. We could move around a lot with multiple grooves. The tires finally wore out, which was nice. Those late cautions really worked in our favor. In the end, Shane Wilson and my team got me a top-10 finish at Richmond, which has always been my worst race track statistically. They deserve a medal for that! My guys did an awesome job.”
