Mason Massey Pre-Race Quote: On Richmond Raceway: “After a couple of weeks off, I’m excited to get back to the track. Richmond has always been one of my favorite places to go. Since my first race there back in 2020, it has been a place that just came to me naturally. “I raced at Richmond last year with Young’s Motorsports, and we had a fast truck, but we didn’t have the luck we needed. Hopefully, we can put it all together this weekend with Brunt Workwear on board.” |
