Martin on racing at Phoenix International Raceway:
"Phoenix is a good track for racing. It's set up a little different on each end, but ultimately the key is getting through the corners faster than everyone else. We've had pretty good success there over the years. We haven't had our best runs the last few times we were out there, but we are hoping to get that corrected and put together a solid finish this weekend. "I can't say enough about the job this race team has done this season. We've been competitive in a number of races and we've been able to get solid finishes on days where we didn't have the best car. The team continues to work really hard and I'm excited about what we feel we can accomplish as a team this season."

Crew Chief Pat Tryson on racing at Phoenix International Raceway:
"We've been a little off at Phoenix in the past couple of years so we'll have our work cut out of us this weekend making sure that we find what we need out there. Mark has had a lot of success at Phoenix, so we know that he's capable of getting it done, we just have to make sure that we give him the car to do it and then we are able to help out with fast pit stops. If everyone is on their game, I'm confident that we can get out of there with a good finish. "
