Joey Gase on Phoenix:
“Phoenix is one of my favorite tracks on the circuit, both turns are different which creates more of a challenge, but it’s a fun challenge. The type of short track racing Phoenix produces is always a lot of fun, and it will be fun pulling double duty again this weekend. Huge thanks to everyone at rFactor 2, and Donate Life Arizona for coming on board this weekend.”
