NASCAR O'Reilly Series

“Phoenix is one of those tracks where we always feel like we almost have a handle on the setup on the car, but something always seems to come along , whether it be weather, late race caution or whatever that bites us. We almost had a Top 10 there a few races back, came home 11th. We’re really hoping that this time, we’ll have it worked out and, God willing, we’ll score a good finish.”

“I like the Phoenix track,” Preece said. “We had a pretty good car there in the first race of the year, and I’m looking forward to going back. We want to close out the year strong.”

“Phoenix always has been a very good place for me,” Chastain said. “It’s a great mix of a ‘short track’ and a fast one. I really enjoy racing there.”
