Biffle on Phoenix:
“I love being out West, that’s where I grew up and I love Phoenix and the race track. I got to spend a little time at the sand dunes before heading into this weekend and that’s one of my favorite things to do. We’ve had some good runs at Phoenix in the past and I think we can get another good finish this weekend.”
Puccia on Phoenix:
“I’ve always enjoyed going to Phoenix. One of the first wins of my career came at Phoenix. Phoenix is also one of the fastest one mile tracks on the circuit. Goodyear brings a good tire that offers up different pit strategies throughout the race, but it’s always a challenge there keeping up with the track and the balance of the car.”
