Ragan on racing at Phoenix International Raceway:
“Phoenix is the second race of the year and the last year for the current track surface, so it will be good to try and go all out and get a good run. We think we’ve improved our short track stuff from a year ago, so it will be interesting to see how we perform right off the truck with our new short-track program.”
Crew chief Drew Blickensderfer on racing at Phoenix International Raceway:
“Phoenix is a place where we qualified real well when we got together. We didn’t race as well, but we learned a lot and have good notes to go off of. We’ve got a good team and can build on running real well last week in the 500.”
