Talk about racing for the championship this weekend in Phoenix…
“We’ve had a great season – definitely some ups and downs – and I feel like we’ve fought for everything we’ve got this year. That’s just our team’s mentality to never give up and keep fighting. I think that definitely showed last weekend in Martinsville when we ran up front all day, then got knocked back late in the race and had to do everything we could to advance, and we were able to do that. This weekend is something we’ve been working for this entire season and have really been excited for after how we ran in the spring. We’re definitely looking forward to the opportunity and we’re ready to give it our best shot.”
