LEFFLER ON PHOENIX
INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY
“If I had to pick one
race track as my favorite,
it would be Phoenix. I spent
a lot of time out there as a
kid and ran the Copper
Classic for a number of
years. It’s a slick old race
track and unique in that
both ends are so different
and the surface is so wore
out. You slide around a lot
but I like that kind of
racing. This is a
challenging race since you
start late afternoon and end
under the lights. You start
out a little loose and as
the night comes you have to
adjust for it. You really
have to keep up with the
changing conditions. We
always seem to be pretty
strong at Phoenix. Of course
we go into every race
feeling that we can be a
contender but we definitely
go out there with a little
more confidence given our
previous performances there.
It’s definitely one of those
tracks that we look forward
to going to for sure!”
