Greg Biffle on racing at Michigan International Speedway:
“We had one of our best finishes of the season last year at Michigan. I really like the track and I’m looking forward to returning there this weekend. We had a strong run last week at Pocono and we’re taking the same car this weekend. That makes it a little tough on the guys, but I know they’ll do a good job turning it around.”
Crew Chief Doug Richert on racing at Michigan International Speedway:
"Michigan is very similar to California and Greg led 27 laps there earlier this year. The California car is the one that was damaged in the All-Star event. Since we can't take that one, the next best thing is to take RK 226, which has a very similar body style. We ran it last week at Pocono for the first time and Greg seemed pretty happy with it. We'll use the California notes and a similar setup and hope we'll be as good as we were there."
