CASEY MEARS QUOTES:

"I think we'll have a good run at Michigan this weekend. I qualified well there last year in the Busch car but we had transmission problems and didn't finish the race. It's a good track and we're taking a good car there. The ARCA race should be good; if we get to run it. I was bummed out we got rained out last weekend. It helps so much to get that extra track time. This ARCA car we have is really good. Hopefully we'll get another pole and a win for Target this weekend."
