QUOTE WORTHY
Wallace on racing at Phoenix:
“Phoenix is a fun track to race on. We had a really good Leidos Mustang when we were here last fall and I feel like we can unload with that same speed again this weekend. Our season has gotten off to a really good start and I’m confident that we can keep the good runs going in Phoenix.”
