RICHMOND, Va. -- Stacy Compton has four career starts in the NASCAR Busch Series at the .75-mile Richmond International Raceway. He's finished no worse than 18th, with a best finish of seventh a year ago.
"I think if you poled the drivers, you'd find Richmond is our favorite place to race. You get to mix the speed of a speedway with what you learned on the short tracks when you first got into this sport. You have to be able to finesse your car through the corners, but you have to be willing to use your front bumper if the situation warrants."
"We're still putting some of the little pieces in place. A successful racing season is a lot like a race: You have good stretches; you have bad ones. You build on the good ones and you learn from the bad ones. We learned a lot last week at Gateway when we finished 20th, just like a week earlier when we were third at California. You keep adding pieces to the puzzle as you go along and eventually everything will fall into place."
