From the Cockpit:
Matt Kenseth: “Phoenix is a fun race track since it’s configured quite differently than anywhere else we go, and it’s a place where passing is a little more difficult. I think that Phoenix continues to get better. I feel that whenever the pavement ages, the groove moves around, and the pace slows up a little bit, that the racing is always a bit better. I think it’s a great race track and there’s always been a lot of excitement at Phoenix. With this new Chase format, I think that it’s going to be a great race on Sunday.”
From the Pit Box:
Jason Ratcliff: “I think that our test at Phoenix went well a few weeks ago. The first day-and-a-half we were a little off, but we were able to find a few things at the end of the test that should help us this weekend. It’s been one of those tracks that, for whatever reason, has been a bit of a struggle for us. Obviously we needed to be better there last fall, but I feel that we’ve made up a lot of ground. I see no reason why we can’t have a good top-five run based on the speeds we had leaving the test last month.
