Previous Race Recap…Kennedy was off to a strong start as the NCWTS took on Texas Motor Speedway in a Halloween spooktacular. Unfortunately, a fast truck was waylaid by mid-race contact from another competitor. Although Kennedy made an impressive save, a run through the grass led to overheating problems and required multiple pit stops to rectify, ultimately resulting in a 15th-place finish.
Ben Kennedy on Phoenix International Raceway:
“I’ve been looking forward to Phoenix for a while. I’ve obviously never been there in a truck, but I made three starts in the [NASCAR] K&N Pro Series West and fared pretty well there, and it always helps when you don’t have as much of a learning curve. We’ve got to do something to turn our bad luck around; it’s been a tough few weeks for us. My whole Turner Scott Motorsports team has worked really hard all season, and they deserve to make it to Victory Lane. The next Chevy to win a race will earn Silverado its 200th victory, and I’d really like to be the one to get it.”
