David Ragan on racing at Phoenix International Raceway

“You know, earlier this year we went from Texas to Phoenix and we had a bit of bad luck at both tracks. The main goal at this point in the season is to learn from our mistakes and not make them again. We had a bit of a rough race in Texas. We had a good car, but we just got caught up in a big mess, which happens sometimes. We plan to have a good run in Phoenix this weekend and get pumped up for the final race of the year in Homestead. I have had a pretty decent rookie season and I would love to go out with a bang here at the end. ”

Crew Chief Jimmy Fennig on racing at Phoenix International Raceway:

“Phoenix will be the final COT race of the 2007 season and then we will go to the new car design full time in the 2008 season, and from that point forward as long as NASCAR mandates it. We have tried to take advantage of every COT race this year to help us gain as much information about them as possible before next season. We have definitely improved our COT program from the first time we visited Phoenix this year and I know we are capable of bringing home a good finish. We have had too many weeks now that have ended on a disappointing note. It is time to redeem ourselves and gain back some of the points that we have lost. ”
