Kenseth on racing in the Busch Series at Phoenix International Raceway:
"I'm looking forward to going to Phoenix with Drew and the guys. We had a great run last weekend in Texas, the team really pulled through with some great stops when I wasn't sure what was going on with the car. In the end it all worked out and we were able to pull off the win. Phoenix is a good track for us and we are bringing back the same car we won with in the fall. This time around we'll have iLevel as the primary for the first time this season, so hopefully we can earn a good finish for their debut."
Crew Chief Drew Blickensderfer on racing at Phoenix International Raceway:
“The guys did a great job last weekend in Texas. This weekend we are bringing RK-395 which is the same car that Matt (Kenseth) won with in the fall. Hopefully we can carry over our momentum from Texas to Phoenix and get a solid finish with the iLevel Ford Fusion.”
