Scott Wimmer Quotes:
“I’m really excited to be going to Michigan. It’s a real neat race track with a lot of three wide and four wide racing. It seems to really have a lot of action on it. It’s close to all the manufacturers so that’s always important. We get a lot of people from Chevrolet out there as well as the other auto manufacturers. It’s a midwest race and close to Wisconsin so we get a lot of fans and friends from home there and it’s nice to see some familiar faces.
It always seems like we have exciting racing there. It can go down to fuel mileage or go down to a last lap pass. Hopefully, we can be a part of that this weekend. We are coming off a set back from Pocono but our Aero Exhaust team will rebound strong and we will have a good run at Michigan.”
