Austin Cindric: “Stage points are super important, so you’ve got to be aggressive. We’re going to be focused on qualifying so we can stay up front. Five points is the difference between one driver finishing fifth in a stage and the other not getting any stage points. Both ends of the racetrack at Phoenix are completely different, so communication between driver and crew chief is important. You need to be able to race in traffic and handle well at both ends of the track and get in the gas soon. We’ve had top-five speed with our Draw-Tite Ford F-150 at tracks about a mile in length, so I’m encouraged by that. I’m looking forward to using my experience in the Truck Series at Phoenix to qualify up front and race well.”
Chase Briscoe: “As Phoenix comes closer, it’s crazy to think how fast this season has gone. It has been a blast with everyone on this team, and hopefully we can go out strong. Phoenix is a track where it’s really hard to pass. Hopefully, since we don’t need stage points, we can use that to our advantage and stay on top of track position. I feel really privileged to be running the Checkered Flag Foundation and Fisher House on our truck for Veterans Day weekend. We’ve got the names of 164 veterans on our truck bed. I would love to get a win to recognize those veterans and everyone else who has served this country.”
