How Did Northeast NASCAR Drivers Do At Richmond?

Richmond RacewayAustin Dillion won the Cup race at Richmond.  Joey Logano of Middletown, CT ended up fourth while Ryan Preece of Berlin, CT ended his evening in 35th place.
In the Craftsman Truck Series race, Corey Heim won that event.  Corey LaJoie came in fourth. Next was Gio Ruggiero of Seekonk, MA who ended up sixth.  Corey LaJoie is the son of two-time Xfinity Champion Randy LaJoie who grew up in Norwalk, CT.
Checking the track’s grandstand, it looked like the crowd was good.  In my opinion I’d have to say at least 60 % full!

The 23-year-old Georgia native started from pole position in the series’ regular season finale on the historic three-quarter mile venue, but he quickly had to deal with his front row starting mate, Ty Majeski who pressed him all night. Majeski swept both stage wins and his race best 143 of the 250 laps out front was more laps led than he turned in the entire season.
