Dover: Scott Riggs preview

SCOTT RIGGS QUOTES:

"We had a decent run last weekend and we hope to build on that this weekend. I think this Stanley Tools/Valvoline team has a pretty good package when it comes to the COT, though circumstances didn't allow us to show that at Bristol, Phoenix and Richmond. Dover is going to be unique in that we are carrying a lot of speed into these turns, I am sure we will be working hard to get our Avenger turning through the center of the turns."

* Scott Riggs qualified a strong second in the Nextel Cup race at Dover last fall. That same weekend he also claimed the pole for the Busch Series race.
