Quotable:
“I’m so thrilled we’re returning to Firebird Motorsports Park after what we thought was going to be the final race there last year. This track has had some great success for our team. I won my first Funny Car race at Firebird 10 years ago and last year, our team won the very first Mission #2Fast2Tasty Challenge there. We didn’t have a good outing at our last race in Pomona, so we’re ready for a get-healthy weekend where we can get back on track and make some good solid runs. I’m looking forward to seeing all of the great fans in Arizona, and we’d love nothing more than to put on a good show for them this weekend.”
