Quotable:

“I’m really excited for the second event of the season, and am looking forward to getting back to racing at Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park, a track that I’ve had success at in the past. I got my first nitro Funny Car win at Phoenix back in 2014, and I’d like nothing better than to have a repeat performance there this weekend.
 
“We had a successful test session in Phoenix two weeks ago and got some really good information with our new Toyota GR Supra bodies on that track, so we’re going to use that data to our advantage and go full force this weekend.”
