Chris Buescher on Phoenix:
“I am looking forward to a fresh start in Phoenix and am ready to get the season started. The only work that I have done in Phoenix was holding a pit sign for Ryan Reed, so there will be a big learning curve here. We should have plenty of time on the track to learn about it and get going.”
Scott Graves on Phoenix:
“Phoenix is a tough track, you have to keep momentum up for a good lap, but the groove is very narrow as well so it is easy to get in trouble. We will focus on getting Chris familiar with the track and running a lot of laps in practice to make sure he has a lot of confidence to start the race.”
