Matt Kenseth:

“I enjoy racing at Phoenix. We’ve had some ups and downs there but it’s a good track and we’ve had our share of success. It’s one of the tracks we’ve won at and that will give us a little bit of confidence going in. Hopefully this weekend will add to that confidence. We can definitely use some momentum. It’s getting down to crunch time and that means no more mistakes. A mistake at this point could cost us big time. We have to stay focused on our team and our performance and let everything else fall where it may. All we can do is our best and we’ll just see how it turns out.”

Mark Martin:

“I enjoy racing at Phoenix and we’ve had a lot of success there over the years. We’ve been off a little there the last few years, but we got that corrected and had a car that was just awesome there in the spring and we really should have probably won that race. We’ll go back there this weekend hoping to pick up where we left off and hopefully we’ll be able to go out and compete for the win again. “We’ve had an awful string of bad luck lately. We’ve wrecked in races, we’ve wrecked in practice, and we’ve wrecked in practices and then the races. Sometimes that’s just the way racing works, you start getting caught up in a lot of other peoples’ messes and there really just isn’t a lot you can do about it. Hopefully we are finished with the bad luck and we’ll be able to go out and compete for the win at the next two races and close this thing out on a strong note. I’ve been in this car for 19 years and I’m not going to quit until the last lap is run.”

Greg Biffle:

“We’ve had a lot of success at Phoenix with a couple of wins in the Busch Series and a few really good runs in the Cup Series. I always enjoy racing on the west coast and especially at a track where we’ve had some success. We’re taking a car that we haven’t raced since last season but the guys at the shop rebuilt it specifically for this race, so I’m excited to see what it can do.”

Jamie McMurray:

“Phoenix is a great race track, and one that I look forward heading out to twice a year. It’s not just the racing there, but everything else the Phoenix area has to offer. I try to get out to Phoenix a couple days early each time we race there. Phoenix always does a great job and it’s a great track to run on. I won a Busch race there a few years ago and would love to repeat this weekend. This weekend will be my final race weekend in the Busch car for Rusty Wallace. And this will be my last weekend in the IRWIN paint scheme this season. IRWIN has been really awesome this entire season; I can’t thank them enough. Hopefully, with this being their last race of the season, we can go out there and give them a really strong finish in the IRWIN Industrial Tools Ford Fusion.”Carl Edwards:

“I want to win everywhere, but Phoenix is a place where I’d especially like to end up in Victory Lane. It’s just an awesome track and a blast to drive. In the race car, you can move around a lot and try different lines because of the track’s odd shape. I also ran my first pavement race at Phoenix, and it was pretty exciting to win a Busch race from the pole there last year, too. The year is winding down, and I know the entire No. 99 Office Depot team would like to finish strong. We’re all looking forward to a great weekend at Phoenix.”
