Martin on racing at Michigan International Speedway:
"Michigan is a great race track. It's easy to pass and if you have your car set up right you can really have a great time there. We've run really well there the last few times we've been there. We finished third there in the spring last year, and we had a good car there in the fall as well, so hopefully we can keep moving forward and go there and contend for a win.

"We've had a tough couple of weeks, especially last week at Pocono, so we'll just have to make sure that we bounce back and go out and put our best foot forward. Michigan is usually a good track for us, so I'm confident that we'll be able to go out and run up front and get back on track. We are still third in the points and we've had great cars this season. The team gets better in the pits each week and I think we have a lot of potential as we move into the summer."

Crew Chief Pat Tryson on racing at Michigan International Speedway:
“Michigan has been one of our strongest tracks the last few years, so we are optimistic going in there this weekend. We kind of stumbled at Pocono last week, so we know that we can't take anything for granted, but we also know that if we can get the car where we want it that Michigan is one of Mark's best tracks and we should be able to run well and be competitive."
