Richson ok after wreck, Bibson salty towards Sauer
Richson was uninjured after his scary accident.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Amazing air time but really, got to love the safety cause without what we have here, I'm sure if we have multiple injuries cause some of the wrecks we had here were just nuts."
Bibson wasn't pleased about getting pushed 3 wide, had some words for Greg Sauer
"That was retarded. We see old races here, we are all looking to have good days but why three wide here? Greg that was just stupid. And that's putting it nicely."

Lester quiet, upset at himself after DNF in home event
Living only a half an hour from Watkins Glen International, Casey Lester felt an added pressure when he and his AERS team showed up this weekend. After seeing quite a few familiar faces in autograph sessions and fan meet-n'-greets, he felt that extra spark under his seat as he tackled the 2.45-mile road course.
"I'm really hoping I can get this checkered flag today and being from this area only makes me want it more." Lester told the media on Friday afternoon. He had seemed a slight bit more upbeat in the garage with teammates and other drivers, joking around about most topics and loosening up a bit more than usual. Although when it came to race time, he was fully serious once he slipped the black balaclava over his head and followed with his green and teal helmet with the Aflac duck on both sides.
He started off inside the Top 10 and ran there for the majority of the race, but was dissatisfied with how he was running, radioing to his crew that he was upset over not being able to run up with his two teammates, Deefer and Ritcher. However, going through the bus stop, Lester ran wide and could not navigate through the dust that had been kicked up from another driver who had also ran wide, misjudged how close he was to the tire wall, hit it and ended his day from 10th place.
"Well, that seems about right for us." Lester told the media after being released from the infield care center. "Naturally I'm the one who takes myself out. These guys are putting their all behind me and even at my home race, this is what I give to them? It's just really sad. I want to apologize to the crowd and my fans. They should be seeing me out there still, but I'm sitting in the infield because I forgot how to drive." He then waves to the camera with an empty stare and drags his feet back to the garage area to meet with his crew.
Lester falls to 19th place in points because of the 28th-place finish at Watkins Glen, but perhaps he can turn around his misfortune in West Virginia, the home track for one of his chief rivals, Nate Smith.

SGR Report:
Hensler to Grosso: What the hell was that for?
Brian Hensler was turned tire barrier going into turn 1, with seven laps to go. According to sources, Grosso spun the 10 for payback for an earlier incident. "What the hell was that for? That kid didn't need to tear up someones equipment just because of something small. If he had a problem with me, we could've talked it over and I wouldn't be steamed about this. Its just stupid that KDM would allow him to do that."
Hensler finished the race in 29th as a result of the crash.
