Blown Tire, Wreck Hamper
Sauter’s Effort at Richmond

Richmond, Va. – Johnny Sauter finished 33rd in Saturday night’s Crown Royal 400 at Richmond International Raceway.

Sauter was back behind the wheel of the No. 70 Haas Automation Chevrolet and like his previous attempt (Phoenix) to put the team back into the Top-35 in owner points a wreck not of his own doing thwarted his effort.

Sauter started the race in the 38th position after successfully qualifying on time. Shortly after the race began, Sauter reported that his car was very loose. Crew Chief Dave Skog planned air pressure and chassis adjustments for the first pit stop, but before the changes could be made Sauter’s right front tire blew, sending the No. 70 against the outside wall.(complete release)

Another Top 20 for Riggs,
This Time at Richmond

Richmond, Va. – Scott Riggs and the No. 66 Haas Automation team overcame lackluster practice and qualifying sessions to post a 19th-place finish in the Crown Royal 400 at Richmond International Raceway Saturday night. This marked the second consecutive Top-20 finish for Riggs.

Riggs began the race in the 30th position on the starting grid and was hampered throughout the race by a car that was tight through the center of the corners and lacked forward drive coming out of the turns.(complete release)
