DRIVER LAYNE RIGGS:
“Phoenix is a fun track. I only have one previous start there, but Dylan (Cappello) knows a thing or two about winning at Phoenix. We have had an up and down season, but we want to carry our momentum from Martinsville into the last race to end the season on a strong note.”
CREW CHIEF DYLAN CAPPELLO:
“Phoenix will always have a special place in my heart after winning the Championship with Zane (Smith). We’re bringing a fast Ford F-150 and have a driver that has proven he has what it takes to win, we just need to execute and be there in the end.”
