PHOENIX, ARIZ. -- Davy Jones and Galles Racing put another 110 miles on their G Force/Aurora Thursday in wrapping up their test at Phoenix International Raceway. The team ended four days of Goodyear tire tests, running 306 miles.
OWEN SNYDER (Galles Racing Team Manager): "It just takes miles to see what problems you're going to have. The car looks real nice, real safe, very stable. We were fairly quick right off the trailer with it. G Force has gone to great lengths to make it easier (to work on). There are some nice detail things that make it easier. Once you get the setup for an oval, they're not going to change much except for wing settings and things. It should be pretty straightforward going track to track."
