Statement from Torrey Galida, President of Richard Childress Racing, regarding tire penalties:

“We understand the seriousness of the penalty. In fact, RCR has been one of the most outspoken opponents against “˜tire bleeding’ since the rumors began to surface last season. Once NASCAR provides us with the specific details of the infraction we will conduct a further internal investigation, and evaluate our options for an appeal.”(RCR)(3-31-2015)
