From the Cockpit:
Matt Kenseth: “We always try to get better at every race track that we go to throughout the season, and certainly Phoenix has not been one of our best tracks since I came to Joe Gibbs Racing, but we’ve had better runs there the last few races. Phoenix is completely different from every other mile track. The only similarity is the length, but it’s a very unique race track. Turns 1 and 2 is a lot tighter than Turns 3 and 4, and then there’s that dog-leg on the backstretch, so it’s a very different place. The challenge at Phoenix is to get your balance good on both ends since both ends of the track are so very different.”
From the Pit Box:
Jason Ratcliff: “Phoenix has been a tough place in the Fall, especially for us on the No. 20 team, I feel that we look at and know that it’s high on our list of places that we know we need to run well at. We do put a lot of effort into planning for Phoenix since it has such a bearing on moving on to Homestead. I thought that the first race there was good for us and that we’ve improved in a lot of areas since the start of this season, and our teammates ran well earlier this year. So we have high hopes going into Phoenix this weekend and we’ll see what happens for us leading into this last elimination race of the Chase.”
