Quotes:
Michael Annett: “We were just too loose last time out at Phoenix, and Travis (Mack, crew chief) and I have come up with a solution for that this weekend. We have run well at Phoenix, and I am determined to end the season on a high note and hopefully help my teammate Justin Allgaier celebrate the NXS title this weekend. It’s the best way to end the season, with a good finish and a championship for JR Motorsports.”
Justin Allgaier: “When NASCAR announced last year that Phoenix was going to be the season finale, I think I may have been the most excited guy out there. That track is just one that this BRANDT Professional Agriculture team seems to perform really well at and we had a great race there last fall. This weekend isn’t going to be easy though by any means and anything can happen. We have three other really strong teams we’re up against for the championship. Hopefully at the end of it all, we’ll be the ones hoisting that trophy and bringing it home for JR Motorsports. I know we have a team capable of getting it done.”
Daniel Hemric: “I’m really looking forward to getting to Phoenix this weekend and ending this season on a strong note for everyone on this Poppy Bank No. 8 team. We have been so close all season long to getting to Victory Lane and I am going to give it everything we can to get that done for all of the guys on this team. They have worked so hard all season long and I can’t thank them enough for everything. It’s a big weekend for JRM as a whole as well and hopefully we can end the day on Saturday with a win for this No. 8 team and a championship for teammate Justin Allgaier.”
Noah Gragson: “We were knocked out of championship contention last week but this No. 9 team wants to go out and spoil the show by putting this Bass Pro Shops/TrueTimber/Black Rifle Coffee Camaro in Victory Lane. We had a great car in Phoenix earlier this year and I think we will be just as fast when we unload this weekend. Hopefully we can bring home the win and my teammate Justin Allgaier can bring the championship trophy back to JR Motorsports.”
