Quotes from Glenn Allen, 1996 Raybestos Rookie of The Year:

"I am really excited about Friday night's race in Richmond. I made my first 
start in The Busch Series here in 1992. I have a lot of confidence when I 
take to the track here and I feel we can have a real strong run Friday Night."

"We are using the same car that was so fast in St. Louis. If I could qualify 
3rd here like I did in St. Louis, I would be in great position for the race. 
We want to make sure we are patient throughout the race and make a charge over
the last 50 laps. With solid pit stops and a little bit of luck, we could
record our best finish ever."

PIT NOTES

Bailey's Heating and Air Conditioning will be an associate sponsor on the #99 
Luxaire Chevrolet Friday Night.

Allen will be racing his drop-snout chassis race car here this weekend.  
Allen qualified in the top five at St. Louis and Nazareth using the car
earlier in the year.
