TYLER REDDICK QUOTE: 

What are your expectations heading to Richmond Raceway with this current aero package?

"Richmond Raceway is a place I've still been doing a lot of learning at. I've ran a decent amount of races there, but I still feel like there is a lot of learning left for me to do. It's a long race on Saturday night, so there's a lot of time for me to get settled in and try to figure out what to do to be more consistent at that track. We need to be focused and not make any mistakes there, knowing it's a track I find more challenging. This weekend is a really good opportunity for both myself and the entire No. 8 Cat Rental Store team to take solid notes and learn all we can to be in a really good spot when we kick off the 2021 season next year. That is really our goal for the reminder of the season, to help set ourselves up to be even better next year."
