How Did Northeast NASCAR Drivers Do At Richmond?

by Lou Modestino
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!
