Dennis Setzer on Richmond International Raceway:
“We have been in contention to win just about every time we have
been to Richmond. Some of my worst finishes were my best races, which is
pretty darn close to the way we have been running lately. I really like this
track and had a chance to see the Cup guys test here last week. I think the
track surface is in the best condition that I have ever seen it. We need a
good run and Richmond should be a good track for us.”
Dennis Setzer on his finish at Bristol Motor
Speedway (8/25):
“I really don’t know what to say. We had a top-five locked up
and were actually making a pass for third when the 42 truck came down on us.
I had a run on him at the start finish line and got inside of him. I don’t
know if his spotter messed him up or what. It (the spin) was very
disappointing.”
