“I’ve never been to Phoenix before, but I’m excited it’s a short track.  I got to make some laps at Phoenix in the simulator last week and I felt like we had a good session and made quite a few gains in the car.  With the new configuration it will be a little bit different for everybody, but overall excited to get over there and see what we’ve got.”

“This weekend, we’ve got to perform from the moment we unload on Friday to when we take the checkered flag on Saturday. All year, we’ve had our eyes on Homestead and a strong run at Phoenix is our last step in making that happen. I know this team is capable of it and deserves to be apart of the Championship 4, running for the title at Homestead-Miami.” – Elliott Sadler
