"I'm excited to have Joy behind me again this year. Having a great partner that represents the coal industry, something that is so close to my family and where I grew up, is important to me," said Richards. "I am really ready to get back on track. I'm glad I get to start my NNS career at Talladega. I had a good run in the truck last year and am looking forward to getting out there in the Joy Mustang this week."

"We are excited to be teaming up with Josh again this year," said Chuck Fickter, Marketing Information Manager, Joy Global.

With the step up to the NASCAR Nationwide Series we feel this will only increase the excitement."
