“Phoenix is another great racetrack. I love going out there; I love that part of the country, this time of year especially. I’ve never won there but I’ve had multiple top-five finishes there and we actually found ourselves in position to maybe make a run for the win last year and ended up second. It’s a fun race track that’s starting to get a little bit of age on that new pavement and it’s getting better.”

“Phoenix is a bit unique. It’s got three different corners – two corners and a dogleg. I haven’t been there since 2015, but that year we sat on the pole in the K&N race and almost won it, but blew a tire with five to go. Then we qualified third in a truck there and it was only my third truck race so I’ve run pretty good at Phoenix. This 24 team brings a pretty solid truck to the racetrack every week and we’re really hitting our stride these last few races, so I’m pretty confident heading into this one. It’s one of those tracks that I’ve had circled for a while.”

“Phoenix (Raceway) is one of my favorite tracks in the country. It’s not only a short track, but I have laps there as well in a truck. No one really knows what to expect this weekend with the reconfiguration; but with how we’ve been running lately and my experience at Phoenix, it seems like a recipe for a really good weekend.”
