From the Cockpit:
Matt Kenseth: “Phoenix was my first down force race with this group and I thought we ran really well earlier this season. We just had a few problems during the race, we got back in the pack, and we just weren’t able to get back up front in the end. I’m really looking forward to getting back to Phoenix, especially after our success and Loudon and Martinsville this season, and I think that hopefully it will be a good track for us. The short flat tracks have been good to us this year and I’m hoping that they continue to be as we look ahead to this weekend.”
From the Pit Box:
Jason Ratcliff: “I was happy with the way our car performed the first Phoenix race earlier this season. We’re going to take one of our great short track hot rods this weekend and I really feel as though our short track program has improved since the spring. There’s a little different tire this weekend at Phoenix than what we ran back in March, and I don’t expect anything to be a lot different, but you never know out there. The track has a little more age on it, and it seems that every time we go out there, the track loses a little more grip. All in all, our short track program has done really well this year, so I think it’s a race that we can put ourselves in position to go for the win.”
