Kasey Kahne discusses racing at Phoenix International Raceway:
Talk about the unique shape of Phoenix International Raceway? "It's a pretty unique race track. To me, it's a neat place to go (race). The weather always seems to be good out there. That's a track that I haven't really run that well at. Early on (in my career) I did...my first year. We've kind of been up-and-down there. I feel like this year, with where we're at right now and the gains that we've made in the last month. Phoenix will be another track where we can run pretty well."
What are the keys to success at Phoenix?
"You need good forward drive off the corner and getting your car to turn all day off the corner will be the key at Phoenix. Each corner drives differently and you really have to have your car set up well in order to be competitive."
