Brett Moffitt Quoteboard:

 

On Phoenix Raceway: “Phoenix Raceway for the most part has been a good race track for me in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck and Xfinity Series. I love the type of racing that the track produces and you really have to apply yourself as the track changes throughout the race.

 

“We began the West Coast Swing with a top-10 finish and I’d enjoy nothing more than leave this year’s swing with another top-10 finish. I’m proud of the AM Racing team for their hard work and attention to detail.

 

“The West Coast Swing is a grueling stretch for the Xfinity Series teams but our AM Racing team has taken the challenges in stride and we look forward to finishing what we started last weekend in Las Vegas.”  

 

On 2023 Season Outlook: “There has been so much effort put into the 2023 NASCAR Xfinity Series season and honestly, I am so excited about it. I cannot thank everyone on the AM Racing team enough for the opportunity and for taking a chance on me to lead them in the inaugural year.

 

“I believe we will exceed everyone’s expectations and not only will we challenge for race wins, but we will achieve them and contend for the 2023 Xfinity Series championship.”
