PAUL MENARD QUOTES:
Menard's Thoughts on Racing at Phoenix International Raceway:
"We tested at Phoenix (International Raceway) last fall with the new Gen-6 car and it drove really well. I'm looking forward to going to Phoenix, it's a fun little short-track that can produce some exciting racing. The car's aero package doesn't mean a whole lot at there, so regardless of how the new car runs, it's going to be a good race. Phoenix is one of my favorite tracks and since the new surface is starting to age, the cars are beginning to get pretty racy again. We ran really well at Phoenix last fall, so hopefully we can get a good finish in the Serta/Menards Chevrolet this weekend."
