Here’s what drivers said after Sunday’s iRacing event at virtual Richmond Raceway:
William Byron — winner:
2 for 2 at Richmond! What a call by @NickOttinger and Holden to stay out, I was nervous about it but they raced me clean and it worked out. Thanks @AxaltaRacing @LibertyU @Hertz pic.twitter.com/ZxfHf1aK2p

2nd place finish today for our @PitBossGrills Toyota! Just came up a little bit short there at the end. Congratulations to @WilliamByron on the win! Looking forward to a bunch of fun at Talladega next week! pic.twitter.com/T4L0HrFrur

Parker Kligerman — finished third:
MAN! P3 on the day. We had an awesome long run car there. When I was in position perfectly, I touched the apron out of turn two and let @TimmyHillRacer get me (post a video of it soon)
Stupid mistake on my part. But really fun race. @Valvoline | @BurtKligEsports

Started at rear w/ backup rig today.
Worked way near top 10 & took a chance late staying out w/ old tires- didn’t work!
Ran 2nd for a little & from there could say I was holding on for dear life & race turned upside down – virtually & literally. @rheemracing | #teamtoyota pic.twitter.com/nbPDOeW6VK
