The No. 28 Border Patrol team pulled into Richmond with hopes high following a string of steady improvement.  Kenny’s three wins at the short track also bolstered their expectations, but an uncommon part failure relegated the Jay Robinson Racing team to a 37th-place finish.

“We had high hopes for Richmond.  We qualified really well in 21st,which was a real gain for this team.  When the green flag dropped the car developed a severe push. What happened was basically a combination of not having loose enough for the track temperature.  We learned our lesson on that, and it won’t happen anymore.  What really hurt us was a part failure.  A drive shaft weight flew off.  It was just a freak occurrence where a weld didn’t hold.  This team in the best shape ever.  We are not panicking!  We ran in the top 10 at Talladega and qualified well at Richmond.  We came back out running good after we replaced the drive shaft, we made some chassis changes that really helped the car a lot.  I’m really excited to get to Darlington."
