Talk about going back to Phoenix to finish up the season…
“I’m excited about the weekend. This year has been such a grind and really up and down for our team especially. James (Small, crew chief) and everyone on our 19 team and everybody back at the shop have put in a ton of effort to get us in a better spot than where we were when we went to Phoenix in the spring. We want to go out on a high note to end the season here, but we’re definitely ready for some time off to reset and get ready to go at it again next year.”
