Talk about the significance of this weekend’s race at Phoenix…

“I think we’re going to know a lot more about who the top guys are after Phoenix. This is a big week for all the race teams that think they have championship aspirations. If you want to try something, it’s going to be this week because you’re not going to get too far out of the box once you get to championship weekend in November.”
