Timothy Peters on racing at Phoenix International Raceway “I’m looking
forward to getting back to Phoenix. We really struggled there last year and
I came into this season looking at New Hampshire and Phoenix as my “Achilles
Heel.” We had a good run at New Hampshire so I feel confident we can have a
good run at Phoenix. Our goal right now is to earn as many points as we can
and capitalize on the mistakes of others. We were able to do that in Texas
and we will need to keep doing it these last two races to reach the top-five
by Homestead.”
