DD Quote:

“Phoenix Raceway is a really fun place to race at, and I’m anxious to finally get back to a track that I’ve been to already with one of our GMS ARCA cars. We ran well last fall and had really good speed with our Chevrolet. Unfortunately, a few things happened on track that forced us to pit and put us way behind, but we managed to learn a lot, and I feel like we’ll be in good shape to run up front on Friday night.”
