KEVIN HARVICK QUOTE:
How will running Saturday's Nationwide Series event at Phoenix International Raceway help prepare you for the Sprint Cup Series race on Sunday?

"There really isn't much that will translate from one series to the other, because the cars are so different. The main benefit of running both series for me is the additional seat time. I enjoy racing at Phoenix (International Raceway), it reminds me of the tracks I used to run on as a kid growing up on the West Coast. We had a good run there last year. I'm hoping we can improve on that performance and pick up another trophy to add to the collection."
