From the Driver’s Seat:

Chandler Smith: “Richmond will always be a special place to me since it is where I got my first Xfinity Series win. We’ve had a great stretch of races going this year and I think we have a great chance to get another win this weekend. The JGR cars were fast last year and this is one of my favorite tracks, so hopefully we’ll have the No. 81 Mobil Toyota GR Supra up front and in Victory Lane on Saturday.”
