Brad Keselowski on his first race with sponsor Ruby Tuesday
“It’s always exciting to debut a new sponsor, especially one that is new to the series as well. Ruby Tuesday – just like Discount Tire – is a sponsor that I can really embrace. They’ve been great to work with and they make sure we don’t go hungry at the track. I can’t wait to get them to Victory Lane and it could happen this weekend. Richmond is a track that every driver loves. You have room to be really aggressive, which you have to be with the Nationwide cars. My dad won there in a (NASCAR Camping World) truck and I hope to join him as a Richmond winner this weekend.”

Crew chief Paul Wolfe on going to Richmond after picking up first win of 2010
“To finally get a win under our belts with this No. 22 Ruby Tuesday Dodge Charger team is big because the first one is the hardest. Hopefully we can make it two in a row this weekend in Richmond. We’re taking our Phoenix car and I feel confident that it will run up front. It was awesome at Phoenix and I think we made it a little better. Richmond is a track that suits Brad’s aggressive driving style. If you car is working like you want, you can really charge the corners because they are so wide and sweeping. Just like any short track, we’ll make sure we keep forward bite in the car all night.”
