Stenhouse Jr. on racing at Phoenix:
“ISM has been a decent track for us in the past. I think it’s going to be a crazy race as it’s a cut off race for those in the Playoffs. Track position is crucial so qualifying will be important. Our short track program has been improving so I’m looking forward to this weekend. Hopefully we can have a solid race and end the season on a strong note.”
