QUOTE WORTHY
Wallace on racing at Phoenix:
“I’m ready to get back on the track this weekend with the Cheez-It Ford at Phoenix. We ran pretty well here last fall so hopefully we can build off of that and get a solid run on Saturday for everyone who works so hard getting this car to the track each week.”
