AUSTIN DILLON QUOTE:
What are your thoughts on Phoenix Raceway?
“Phoenix Raceway is a tough short-track and one of those places that you hit it or you don’t. I’m thankful that we have practice this weekend because this track is challenging, especially with no practice. I’m looking forward to Phoenix, because it’s such a fun track for drivers. It can be a really good place for the No. 3 Dow Coatings Camaro ZL1 1LE team. We’re planning to end the season on a high note.”

TYLER REDDICK QUOTE:
What are your thoughts heading to the final race of the season at Phoenix Raceway?
“I’m looking forward to closing out the season on a high note at Phoenix Raceway. It’s obviously a big weekend for not only the championship four, but for every team to have a good memory to head into the offseason with. Phoenix has been one of those tracks where we have had speed at times and then other times we have missed it a little bit. I’m going to do everything I can to put 110% effort into the car and preparation to close this year out on a positive note. I’m really motivated to get that done for our BetMGM team. One last hoorah in this Gen 6 car before we put them up on a shelf and go play with a new car.”

MYATT SNIDER QUOTE:
What are you looking for at Phoenix Raceway this weekend?
“I definitely want to finish out the season strong for TaxSlayer and this Richard Childress Racing team. It has been a pleasure driving the No. 2 Chevrolet this year and while I’m looking forward to a new adventure next season, me, Andy Street and all of the guys on this team still have one more race to get the best finish possible. Phoenix Raceway can be a handful at times, but I enjoy the challenge. To end the year with a full weekend of practice and qualifying will only make our performance stronger during the race.”
