Kenseth on racing at Michigan International Speedway:
“I look forward to going to Michigan. It is one track that I am glad we visit twice a year. We have always run really well there, but it’s been a couple of years since we got a Cup win at MIS. So, it would be nice if we could do something about that here soon. It would be great to get Carhartt in Victory Lane. We have been having a pretty good season so far. The guys here in the shop have been working really hard and have given me some really great cars. I’m sure that that will not change this weekend.”
Crew Chief Robbie Reiser on racing at Michigan International Speedway:
“We have a good history at Michigan. I think with the way that things have been going so far this year we have a pretty good shot at at least a top-5. We are taking the car that ran at California, Texas, and Vegas so maybe we will be able to pull off another Fontana in Michigan.”
