SCOTT RIGGS QUOTES:
Do you enjoy running the Coca-Cola 600?
“I enjoy it but it’s a long race and it takes a lot out of you physically. I think you have to pace yourself through the 600 miles. You can get too aggressive at the beginning of the race. You have to take care of your equipment during the first 500 miles and race the last 100 miles.”
SCOTT RIGGS QUOTES:
Do you think you guys learned anything during the NASCAR Showdown race?
“Yes, I actually think we learned a lot. I think we know where we need to be during the 600 to be competitive. Tommy (Baldwin) took the car back to the shop and made some adjustments that should make the car perform better. I just hope we can stay out of trouble and compete for a top 20 this
