“I’m looking forward to this weekend at Phoenix Raceway where I made my first-career Craftsmen Truck Series start and celebrated my K&N West Series Championship. It’s a track I am very familiar with, and I can’t wait to get back out there with Travis Mack and this No. 16 Western States Flooring Chevrolet team to build off our start together this past weekend.”

“Phoenix will be a test for all of us, having limited lead time on this new aero package. Hopefully we can communicate well as a group during our extended practice and learn as much as we can throughout practice, qualifying and the race to continue improving our short-track program.”

“I love Phoenix. I’m a short track guy at heart, and Phoenix is kind of both a short track and an intermediate. There’s a wide range of different lanes, and being able to run on the flat part of the dogleg really makes it interesting.”

“Phoenix is an important race because that’s where the season ends but it’s also a track we have struggled at a lot. I don’t think it’s a must win early in the season, but definitely a racetrack that if we go there and have more speed than we’ve had in the past, it will give us a lot of confidence early in the season. The ultimate goal is to get back to Phoenix at the end of the year with a shot to win the Championship.”

“Last weekend didn’t go as planned, but the good thing is we have another race this weekend. Phoenix should be fun, and it will be nice to get my first start on a one-mile oval. It will be another learning curve for me this weekend, but I know [Crew Chief]Bruce [Schlicker] and the Kaulig guys will bring a strong Chevrolet to the track. It’s great to have SafetyCulture on board with us this weekend. They have been a partner of mine for a long time, and I appreciate that they have taken the chance on the NASCAR side with Trackhouse and Kaulig Racing this season.”
