Richie Pallai“It is awesome. It really is. Woody definitely helped here. We talked about it before practice. We were near each other and he helped us with the draft. He thought that would be one of the toughest things. We went out there for about five laps switching back and forth. When you have people like that helping you it makes it a lot easier”

“The draft is cool. You pick up about 5 or 6 more miles per hour. The car feels a little loose on you. It feels almost like you are flying. It was not as bad as everybody said it would be. Once we get use to it, it will be good.

Decision to drive in the NWMT versus local tracks?
“Everyone that we talked to said that we would be good as a distance racer. We were just tired of going week in and week out we were trying to survive rather than just racing. At the local race we were surviving week to week with all the wrecks and stuff. Stafford is a great facility but the guys who run the SKs like to bang them up a lot.”

“We got a good crew chief and we have some sponsor help so we decided to run the tour.”
