TYLER REDDICK QUOTE: 

You had a fast No. 8 I Am Second Chevrolet the last time we were at Phoenix Raceway before tire issues took you out of the race early. What are your expectations for this weekend's return to the track?

"Phoenix Raceway was a bit of a surprise for me this year. It's a track I still find really tricky to figure out, but my team worked hard all throughout that weekend to really dial in the handling of our No. 8 I Am Second Chevrolet, and it paid off for the race. The traction compound that weekend worked really well to open up another groove on the track surface, so I'm hoping that has the same effect this time around. We're going back there with the same set-up since it ran so well, so I'm optimistic that we can have another really good run this weekend. It would be great to put together a solid race to close out our season on a high note."
