JAMIE MCMURRAY QUOTES:

"I can't wait to get to Richmond. Richmond is a great place to race at. You can race side-by-side and it always seems to provide a great race for the fans. I've had some good races at Richmond, and feel like we're going to have another strong run this weekend."

"The momentum continues to build on the Havoline team and we're coming off two top-five finishes in a row, which creates a lot of excitement on this team. I think we're starting to show just how strong this team is and we're coming up on tracks that we should race really well at, so you should see good things out of the Havoline Dodge."
