Dan Stillman Quotes:
RETURNING TO PHOENIX INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY WITH TONY RAINES BEHIND THE WHEEL: “The chassis we are bringing this week has shown great potential on the track. Cale (Gale) last drove it at Memphis (Tenn.) Motorsports Park and ran laps with the leaders, even though we did not get the finish we were expecting. This weekend we have Tony (Raines) behind the wheel and after his great run last week in Texas, I am really excited to see what we can do this week.”
