Wallace's thoughts on Phoenix International Raceway . . .
"Phoenix has such a great atmosphere and I always get a good feeling when we go there to race. There are some tracks that you really look forward to going to because of the city and the things you can do there, and Phoenix is definitely one of those tracks that I look forward to. Phoenix International Raceway has such a great history. I remember watching Alan Kulwicki get his first win there. moments like that you remember forever. Hopefully we can put the #22 AutoZone Ford in victory lane this weekend and make a moment of our own by getting AutoZone their first win. We definitely didn't run as well as we wanted to earlier this year in Phoenix, but the AutoZone team is going to take what we learned from the first race and try to improve on our twelfth place finish. Phoenix can be a tough track if you're not running up front, and a good run could really help us make up some ground on fifth place in the point's standings."
