Corey LaJoie Quotes
Last week’s finish wasn’t ideal and Richmond has been a tough place for Spire Motorsports to put together a good finish. What are your thoughts as we head into the seventh race of the rear?
“I’ve been really encouraged with our overall pace to start the season, unfortunately the results haven’t always told the whole story. We look to put a solid race together with our Gainbridge Camaro at the worn out Richmond Raceway. Richmond has been a tough venue for us the past couple trips but we’ll be heading into the weekend as prepared as ever.”
